lyrics

Wake up, all we have to do is everything.
all we have to hope is anything,
and the world will come alive.

Break up with all your fear and all your loneliness
I'll share your burden if you'll just say yes,
and we'll chase the sunrise.

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Runnin', they'll see us running and they'll call us mad,
call us ungrateful for the shit we had,
and they'll mourn our wasted lives.

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Broken, this world is broken but we're faking it.
behind the apple lies a growing pit,
where our homelessness hides.
but I'm hoping, hoping for courage in the face of fear.
There's no more time for us to sleep it's clear,
so open your eyes.

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open up your eyes

Wake up, all we have to do is everything.
all we have to hope is anything,
and the world will come alive.
