Open Your Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got a great imagination
You carry on in the same old way
No lessons learned from yesterday
Talk of changes lost in pages of paperwork
I believe it...
How can we refuse to see
I've received it...
What could be our final destiny
I believe that...
Still we go on from day to day
Knowing what could be true
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?
Open your eyes
You've got a great imagination
We cast the world, we set the stage
For what could be the darkest age
Short exchanges
From perfect strangers
We'll never know
But wish we knew
I believe it...
It's time to face reality
I've received it...
Questioning the powers that be
I believe it...
Are we too confused to see?
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?
Open your eyes
You've got a great imagination
Open your eyes
Show it

Wish we knew
I believe it...
It's time to face reality
I've received it...
Things aren't what they used to be
I believe it...
What I see in you, you see in me
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
You've got a great imagination
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
You've got a sweet imagination
Change is gonna come
Open your eyes
Change is gonna come
Open your eyes
Change is gonna come
You've got a deep imagination coming
