lyrics

KEEP WIDE YOUR OPEN EYES

Write your name like a firefly light
Only you can see it
You ask the others to come and look
but they all turn away
And let them go ‘cause now you know
Hope they will believe it when they see their own names shining there
Their mark upon the world

Hide
Don’t hide
Just one more thing before you go outside
Keep wide your open eyes

Made your claim in the middle of night
Only you could hear it
You ask the other to listen close
But they don’t know what to say

They have to smile ‘cause they think they’re on trial
They’re struggling to deceive it
But it’s high and clear
And the more they hear their mark upon the world

Hide
Don’t hide
Just one more thing before you go outside
Keep wide your open eyes


And someone says the magic word
It’s just like you heard it would be

You find a room where it’s locked up tight
Only you can find it
Some of the others would pick the lock
But you know that’s not the way

You have to see to find that key out here in the hallway
Just- a - back’em each down
until all you found the mark upon the world

Hide
Don’t hide
Just one more thing before you go outside
Keep wide your open eyes
Keep wide your open eyes
Keep wide your open eyes
