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.
