Well, I'm not old, but in my short life, I've seen so much with these eyes
Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide
A starved soul can survive, but a rose deserves more sunlight
I've seen what'd make men go blind, but I keep mine open wide
I've had my heart broken but I've survived to see so much with these eyes
Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide
Don't treat me like other guys- I'm woke! & I have been for (many) lives
I've seen what'd make men go blind, but I keep mine open wide
