It's time you learned a lesson~
It's time that you understand~
Don't ever count on anybody else~
In this or any other land~
I once hoped for friendship~
To find a place among my kind but those were the childish wishes~
Of someone who was blind~
Open up your eyes~
See the world from were I stand~
Me among the mighty~
You caged at my command~
Open up your eyes~
Give up your sweet~
Fantasy land~
It's time to grow up and get wise~
Come now little one~
Open up your eyes~
We all start out the same~
With simple naive trust~
Shielded from the many ways~
That life's not fair or just~
But then there comes a moment~
A simple truth that you must face~
If you depend on others~
You'll never find your place~
Music~
And as you take that first step~
Upon a path that's all your own~
You see it all so clearly~
The best way to survive is all alone~
Open up your eyes~
See the word from were I stand~
Me and the mighty~
You caged at my command~
Open up your eyes~
And behold the fading light~
It's time to grow up and get wise~
Come now little one~
Open up your eyes~
Open up your eyes~
