Sometimes when I am feelin' down
I look around, and I'll find something new to write about
I'll take in all of my better days
And I'll start to sway
Why do we keep coming up with reasons
Reasons to stay in the shade
Sail away from this place we're in
Let's change our minds with the seasons
And we'll be okay
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
It's summertime and I'm feelin' bright, now
Take my hand, and we'll go for a walk for awhile
We could break up the clouds with that smile
Lay on the grass, kick it back
And watch them as they dissipate
I feel like all of it's in our heads you know
Like it's just a game
A game that we know too well, and I
Hope we can realize
That we all need to rise
And start to sway
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
You've got to open your eyes
And make sure the feeling's right
Let's escape from the tunnel vision
Have some faith in your intuition
Now let's all close our eyes
And make sure you feel alright
The only way you're gonna know
Is if you feel it deep inside
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
You've got to open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away, oh you've got to
Open your eyes, open your eyes,
Open your eyes, open your eyes,
Open your eyes, open your eyes, oh
Open your eyes once in awhile
And watch it all fade away
