Open up my eyes
And I look around me
Through another night
And the daylight’s found me
Thunder in the air
And it’s all around, and it’s everywhere
Let my spirits fly
To an open beach in a summer sky
Safe within these walls I’m still alive
Drag myself awake
And I feel like nothing
See the mirror’s face
And I think of something
Look me in the eye
See the naked truth or the naked lies
Who the hell am I?
Said the silent voice in the yellow light
God forgive my sins I’m still alive
God preserve my soul I’m still alive
When the hard nights have gone
When the dark days are over
And a new life has come
And I’ll see far and wide
Feel the hidden strength and I’ll survive
Seen it in my dreams I’m still alive
Read between the lines
You can hear the words, you can see the signs
Take me by surprise
Could you move me now, when I’m paralysed?
God forgive my sins I’m still alive
When the hard nights have gone
When the dark days are over
And a new life has come
And I’ll see far and wide
Feel the hidden strength and I’ll survive
Seen it in my dreams I’m still alive
