"My Eyes Are Open" by Kimberly Michele Salesky
I saw the sunset before I saw the sunrise;
I saw death before I saw life,
Restrained by the binds on my soul.
The windows locked; curtains closed,
My eyes are open.
(Bridge): I'm waiting to find Home again
I'm waiting to find Home again
I'm waiting to find Home again.
(Chorus): My eyes are open
For the first time,
Freedom is no longer a myth,
For the last time,
My eyes are open.
I saw shadows before I saw light;
I saw my reflection before I saw myself,
Restrained by the chains on my heart.
The doors bolted shut; the key is lost,
My eyes are open.
(Bridge): I'm waiting to find Home again
I'm waiting to find Home again
I'm waiting to find Home again.
(Chorus): My eyes are open
For the first time,
Freedom is no longer a myth,
For the last time,
My eyes are open.
