open your eyes and see.

open your eyes.

it may be dark out

and maybe

you can’t even see a difference

between the backs of your eyelids

and the whole wide world

but open your eyes.

the sun will come up

it’s just a matter of time

before light is spread

and darkness only lingers in shadows.

open your eyes

don’t waste time

living on autopilot

open your eyes

and look around

open your eyes

and share what you see

the beauty found

that comes from contrast

the sun may not stay up forever

but the sun will always

rise again.

so open your eyes

and look for the sunrise.

open your eyes

and live.
