Open Your Eyes Songtext
von Chris de Burgh

You don′t know me, but I know you
You saw my face, but you look right through me
You left your heart and soul
At the walls of Jerusalem

You joined the fight for God and King
Together marching to the Holy Land
With King Richard's crusade
You were told that you′d be heroes

But then rich men got richer
And came back with silver and gold
And now we live in the forest
As outlaws with nowhere to go

Robin, listen

Open your eyes to the world around you
And see what I can see
Open your arms to the ones who need you


You're like a bird with a broken wing
You have a voice, but you will not sing
Of the pain in this land
And the cries of the innocent

You are the Lord of this place
With the power to change anything
So think no more of yourself
But of others and what you may bring this day

Open your eyes to the world around you
And see what I can see
Open your arms to the ones who need you
Open your eyes

Open your heart to the ones who love you
Just open your eyes (open your eyes)
And be the leader we need (just open your eyes)
And help us to be free (just ooen your eyes)
Open your eyes
