My Songs

Open Your Eyes

Verse 1

They were so excited when they got the news,

That they'd be expecting you in June,

They planned and planned,

Nana waited for her first great grand,

Decorating your room with butterflies,

Not knowing everything ahead that lies,

Chorus

We were waiting for you to come in June,

But you decided you needed to come too soon,

We waited for you to open your eyes,

For you to get out of that room,

For you to see the sky,

Days and days just kept passing by,

You laid there struggling to be alive.

Don't worry little one,

You'll be alright,

You are going to survive.

Verse 2

Last night the cops came and hauled off your daddy,

We watched it on the news,

It wasn't your fault he had an addiction,

I doubt he even thought you knew,

The things you heard,

The facts you ignored, 

In the back of your mind you still thought he was Superman,

Be there for you,

Always holding your hand,

Chorus

You don't have to have,

Someone to make you look brave,

You don't have to have,

Parents who always stay,

You never know,

You're made of stone,

Until you have to stand up,

Without being shown,

Don't worry little one,

You'll be alright,

You are going to survive,

Bridge

One day you'll be out in your own,

Trying to forget the past,

Making the good memories last,

Holding on to the thoughts,

Of the love that you fought, 

Never remembering,

Never forgetting,  

Chorus  

Don't worry little one,

You'll be alright,

You are going to survive
