Open Your Eyes

Dry your tears, face your fears
bite the hand that fed you lies

Don't bother with the negative
just let it out, let it ride

Don't let go, hold on tight
don't be afraid to turn off the light

Never forget, those who gave
all they could to keep us safe

Don't read the paper; don't recite a line
from whatever you've heard

Open your eyes
