Song Lyrics

 

Open Up Your Eyes

I think this is probably my favourite song - it's certainly the only one that has been recorded properly. I wrote it when a friend was going through a bad time, but it has been meaningful to lots of people since.

 

Well I know what you’ve been going through,

I can tell just where you’ve been,

And it’s not so very strange to me,

For I know what I have seen.

 

The love that you’ve been searching for

Was never far away,

You’ve only got to open up your eyes.

And all that you’ve been longing for,

Is so very close at hand,

You’ve only got to open up your eyes.

 

All the pain that you’ve been going through,

All the tears in your eyes,

There’s no need to carry on this way,

Raise your head up to the skies,

 

The love…

 

Instrumental

 

Well I know…

 

The love…
