Open My Eyes - SOJA

I open my eyes, each morning I rise

To find the truth I know that is there

I’m lucky to breathe, I’m lucky to feel

I’m glad to wake up, I’m glad to be here

With all of this world, and all of it’s pain

All of it’s lies, and all of its let downs…

I still feel a sense of freedom —

So glad I’m around

It’s my freedom, can’t take it from me

I know it won’t change

But, we need some understanding

I know we’ll be alright…

Alright

The day I am gone, and the day that I leave

I’ll never regret one minute of life

I’ve learned from the joy, I’ve learned from the tears…

I’ve walked through the dark, now I seen a light

Every tongue of everyone

Of every state in every land

Has every thing to be thankful for…

It’s my freedom

Cuz I, I wait on you

Cuz you wait on me — so I wait on you

I open my eyes, each morning I rise

To find the truth I know that is there

I can’t tell you how, you can’t tell me why —

But living my life is all that I care

The burden can be, sometimes, bigger than me

Sometimes, stronger than me, and hard to bear

But I couldn’t care less, no stress cuz

Jah put me here

It’s my freedom

I know you know —

I wait on you

Cuz you wait on me — so I wait on you

We’ve really gotta stop…
