All of the tubes in the hospital room Pinching and twisting life And the clock ticks on but the light is off Behind your eyes Should I have done more for you? Should I have done more than you asked me too? Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes All of those years so carelessly spent And all of the chances that I had To tell you that Ive been there too, and I understand Tell you that Ive been there too and its so hard to be a man
And these doctors disagree as youre dying there in front of me Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes Angels, teachers, saints, where are you now When lifes on the line And theres no more time We have lived badly, we have lived sadly Life it shakes us, d**h it wakes us, life it takes us To the center again Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes
