Look about you, see this earth
That you’ve been trodding on
Since your birth.
How easy it is
To ignore it all.
Go about your life in your little rut
Notice nothing at all!
Never step outside your boundaries
Never take a chance to wonder -
Never appreciate this world
'Till they lay you under!

Open your eyes,
Open your mind -
Awake from the dream
You’ve been hiding behind!

Life has a fog that’s just out of sight
And everything beyond your reach
Is cloaked by the night!
You cannot see through it,
You can’t go around -
You don’t even notice it;
You’ll never step out of bounds!

Open your eyes,
Open your mind -
Awake from the dream
You’ve been hiding behind!

Do you want to take
The control you deserve?
Defy the machine
And from this path you swerve!
Take control of your destiny
Take control of your life!
Take a torch to that fog -
Cut through it like a knife!
Notice the world around you
Note each passing day
Revel in your existence
And it won’t fade away!

Open your eyes,
Open your mind -
Awake from the dream
You’ve been hiding behind!
