Eyes Wide Open
EYES WIDE OPEN
Eyes wide open, it's all so clear,
He was meant to find her here.
The stars, they seem to be aligned,
Messages, signs, she needs to find.
He knows for certain that I am she,
The path he's followed leads to me.
Never has love been felt so strong,
By the soul who's path he walks along.
Led to the North by a haunting song
He found his love but the timing was wrong.
How could this be he shouted to the stars
I’ve done what you asked, I’ve come so far.
With fear by his side and hope in his hand
He decided to stay, to take a stand.
Love conquers all he continues to say
Stars will fall but love never fades.
With a blinding pulse of light she awakens,
Her mind calculating the height of the stakes.
Her very nature: shelter others from pain,
Forbidding her to inflict hurt for her gain.
She feels the cries in the dead of the night,
From the soul with the Promise who's searching for light.
It would seem that Life has a twisted side,
"Sit in the seat, but you can't have a ride".
In the Now, all seems hazy...but out of the mist,
One day understanding will flood the altruist.
