OPEN YOUR EYES

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN KEEP ON LIVING

YOU WONDER WHERE YOU WILL MAKE YOUR STAND

YOU WONDER HOW LONG YOU CAN KEEP ON GIVING

LOSING YOUR HOMES, YOUR SONS AND YOUR LAND

BUT I DO NOT FEAR YOUR HIDEOUS MONSTERS

AND I DO NOT FEAR WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND I AM HERE, LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER

OPEN YOUR EYES, AND REACH OUT YOUR HANDS

YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE WHO COULD LOVE YOU

FOR ALL YOU KNOW, YOU THINK NOBODY CAN

BUT, YOU'RE NOT YOUR CARS OR THE ROOF THAT'S ABOVE YOU

NOT CLOTHES NOR TITLES; NOT WOMAN NOR MAN

AND I DO NOT SEE A HIDEOUS MONSTER

AND I DO NOT FEAR WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND I AM HERE, IF YOU STOP YOU WILL FEEL ME

OPEN YOUR EYES NOW, AND BE AS "I AM"

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN MAKE THIS DECISION

YOU WONDER IF YOU WILL PICK THE RIGHT PLAN

YOU LOOK FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU THEIR WISDOM

BUT MY POWER IS IN YOU AND AWAITS YOUR COMMAND

AND I DO NOT FEAR THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN

AND I DO NOT FEAR WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND I AM HERE, MY MIND IS INSIDE YOU

OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOU'LL SEE AS "I AM"

YOU LIVE IN FEAR OF YOUR FATHERS AND BROTHERS

YOU LIVE IN FEAR OF THE LAW OF THE LAND

AND YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED OF YOUR RIGHTS AND YOUR PASSIONS

SHROUDED AND SHAMED BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T BORN A MAN

BUT I DO NOT FEAR THE HOLD OF TRADITION

AND I DO NOT FEAR THE LAWS OF YOUR LAND

AND I AM HERE AND I WON'T BE SILENCED

OPEN YOUR EYES NOW, TOGETHER WE'LL STAND

REPEAT FIRST CHORUS
