Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes there’s much to see
A world so beautiful and blessed so easily
Don’t let things get you down
Face the future but make past lessons sound

For some day there are lessons easily learnt
And at other times your fingers will be burnt
Even a cold winter’s day 
Has some sun along the way

John said it loudly so don’t be opposed 
“You see living is easy with your eyes closed
And I think it is only fair”
Life’s for living so show you care.
