open your eyes

I heard a song the other day called "open your eyes ii" the group that sings it is called Victory.  I was intrigued by the words... open your eyes to the beauty of life.

As I further read the lyrics, the author is trying to get someone to see the good but there are forces always weighing them down.

It is true that there are things in life that weigh us down.  We however, can make the choice to rise above them.  But it is a conscious choice.

Here are the lyrics to the song...


Open your eyes
You'll be so blind
Beauty of life
Everywhere so won't you dare

Open your eyes
You'll be so blind
Beauty of life
Everywhere so won't you dare

I wanna fly beyond the sky
Higher than where the airplanes glide
I wanna sail the seven seas
And maybe visit all of the countries
I want you to come along
Life is better when we're not alone
And we might make a very good team
And then we could reach our every dream
But you always got something sad to talk about
Always walking with a heart full of doubt
You don't seem to to see all of the possibilities
And I wanna make you happy
I want you to be free
But there seems to always be
Forces of gravity
Weighing you down
And I want you to fly with me

So darling, won't you open your eyes
How can you be so blind to the beauty of life
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes
How can you be so blind to the beauty of life
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes

I wanna explore the ocean's floor
And see things no one's ever seen before
I wanna build a jungle mansion
Just like the Swiss Family Robinson
I want you to live there with me
Otherwise it might get lonely
And could be a dynamic duo
Makin' up our own rules
But you don't believe in yourself enough
You always settle when things get tough
You don't seem to know
All of your potential
And I wanna make you happy
I want you to be free
But there seems to always be
Forces of gravity
Weighing you down
And I want you to fly with me

So darling, won't you open your eyes
How can you be so blind to the beauty of life
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes
How can you be so blind to the beauty of life
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes, ooh
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes, oh yes
It's everywhere so won't you dare
Open your eyes
It's everywhere so won't you dare
To open your eyes


It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
