Open Them Eyes Part 1

I see the eyes open and closing,
I see the door so run for the moment,
I see the distance is filled with running,
I see our country is more than just nothing.
I see the memories constantly fading,
I see it constantly upon peoples faces.
I see fear in eyes to scared to see,
I see me up in the sky, heavenly.
I see struggle and hunger and love for the younger.
I see greed, state country, beliefs,
I see religion-dreams-lies and-deceit.
I see the pain in all peoples eyes and for glory?
I see why we as that people cry for a story.
I see the the faces recall in horror,
I've seen the love build more-er, move more earth.
	Than I see, beyond me, I see what I see, I see whats around me...whats around me...
I see beautiful faces locked behind cages ,
I see racists, tasteless, disgraced behind cages.
I see between blinds that bind us, confine us.
I see the words and music before us...
I see the verses, rehearses and choruses.
I see in the plan and understand we're more just
	than anything other than what I see or you see,
I see the disease and am pleased that we breathe.
I see in the motion of the oceans aligns us
	to planets and stars we planned with to guide us. 
				  Preciously primarily soul to define us.
						And in turn confine us.
I see and believe that we all are all nothing.
I see and deceive with words that I’ve punched in.
I see in Kennedy, Jefferson, messages crunched in.
I see in the rights of the people in rising above it.

I see myself so a say things that say something.
I see people thrown off by there assumptions,
I see in through eyes and out with my gumption.
I see the loans and taxes heavy on our backs
    its weighing us down steady to our maxes.
I see all see so, why not see me?
I see all compete so try retreat till 
			complete this life cycle with more than
			   Repeat.
