From the recording TOUGH'S NOT ENOUGH
Lyrics
EYES NOW OPEN<br />
<br />
I was asleep<br />
Before that howl<br />
Became so deep,<br />
Became a growl. <br />
<br />
Now, I’m awake,<br />
Fully aware.<br />
A dry twig breaks -<br />
Something’s out there!<br />
<br />
I’m lying here,<br />
Eyes now open.<br />
I smell the fear;<br />
I keep hopin’<br />
<br />
The sun will rise,<br />
And I will too.<br />
Take back the lies<br />
I told to you.<br />
<br />
You were asleep<br />
Before that howl<br />
Became so deep,<br />
Became a growl.<br />
<br />
Now, you’re awake,<br />
Fully aware.<br />
A dry twig breaks -<br />
Something’s out there!<br />
<br />
You’re lying here,<br />
Eyes now open.<br />
You shed a tear;<br />
You keep hopin’<br />
<br />
The sun will rise,<br />
And you will too. <br />
Shake off the lies<br />
I told to you.<br />
This might be the best time to pray -<br />
Right before the dawn of a brand new day.<br />
<br />
We were asleep<br />
Before that howl<br />
Became so deep,<br />
Became a growl.<br />
<br />
Now, we’re awake,<br />
We’ve learned to care.<br />
No more heartbreak<br />
That needs repair.<br />
<br />
We’re lying here,<br />
Eyes now open.<br />
We stopped the fear,<br />
Started copin’.<br />
<br />
Now, the sun will rise,<br />
And we will too.<br />
Had a good cry<br />
Like lovers do.<br />
<br />
The sun will rise,<br />
And we will too.<br />
Survived the lies –<br />
Our love shines true.<br />
<br />
