She sings her songs with open eyes Never holding in the pain Of all the generations she sings about She sings her songs with open eyes Songs of distant voices through her they go She stands and sings straight as a lighthouse In the eye of the wind and rain They bring her songs of Uisneach And on they go again In her voice everything turns to light And her open eyes look across the night
She sings Wear your troubles lightly Root your life in the day Respect yourself now The love you've yet to know Will guide your way She sings her songs with open eyes She sings her songs with open eyes She sings her songs with open eyes And all the bad days fly... fly away... fly away She sings her songs with open eyes She sings her songs with open eyes
