Rapture Ruckus - Open Your Eyes lyrics

Sweet sixteen with big dreams As beautiful as a beauty queen World at her fingertips it would seem But another world lived that goes unseen Behind the darkness and behind the screens The echoing of her silent screams Tear drops forward rain down like streams She buries her face up in a magazine She can't believe this is happening She gave everything that she had to him When she told him she was having his kid He turned his back and ran away and hid And now she's got nowhere to go Daddy walked out on her years ago So I guess that's how things go In a world where nobody knows Now daddy's all alone And he's too proud to pick up the phone Sitting in his arm chair on his own Drinking and smoking his heart to stone Reminiscing on the days of old He built a house he couldn't build a home He built four walls round a heart of stone Now he's slipping to the back of the blackest hole Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe Across the globe to a dusty road Where a little boy sits all alone He's far from home walked through night Searching for a ray of light A spark of hope and glimpse of chance As he holds up both his hand He lifts them high up to the sky And as he cries he asks out why Mom and dad both died of AIDS He's nine years old with two kids to raise He's got no time to play Hasn't had food since yesterday And as his life just slips away Again he prays for just one more day Prays his fears away Please God wipe my tears away Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe You wanna be in a place where you feel like you can call home Somewhere there is no hatred, no wrong doing, no harm Confess I live my life to the fullest, no stopping me Even if my past tries to break me down, I'm breaking free Oh you gotta fight for your destiny Let go of all your doubts and your disbelief Today is your pursuit of happiness, so please don't rest Open your eyes and see, and you will find you're free Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe Open your eyes and dream Open your eyes and believe
