Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes I want to know
See a vision once let go
I had it all

Well constantly it burdens me
How to trust, I can't believe
I lost the faith, I lost the love
But when the day is done

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
On and on we stand alone until our day is gone
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
And how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

Its hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day?
Will they ever change?

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
On and on we stand alone until our day is gone
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Still today we carry on, I know our day will come
Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one
Lost the faith, Lost the love
But when the day is done

Will they open their eyes, and realize we are one

Open Your Eyes

This was the first single from Alter Bridge. The group is made up of members of Creed, with the exception of singer Scott Stapp . Brian Marshall returned to Alter Bridge after leaving Creed, while singer Myles Kennedy also joined the group.

Like many songs on the album, this is about regrets. The chorus seems to be encouraging peace.

Alter Bridge guitarist/songwriter Mark Tremonti wanted "Down To My Last" to be the first single, but the record company rejected it, saying it sounded too much like Creed. This was chosen instead. (thanks, Doron - Toronto, Canada, for all above)
