Open Your Eyes and Ears

The blind won't teach the deaf to hear Your muffled visions fall on stitched closed ears Listen to music that plays for your soul The sounds are powerful they have a lot of control The rhythm unfolds with each sound combining into a melody or beat It flows to your mind, heart, arms, fingers, and your feet Our life lessons are still misunderstood We're only living the life that we wish we could Words of wisdom come to my ears Telling me what I know in my heart, but never wanted to hear We always have to keep our eyes open to something different In these implicit days we have to pray and repent Eyes wide open, but you don’t look around You don’t open your ears, you don’t hear a sound Keep your eyes wide open be careful of the lies that surround you Only your heart knows what is true Sometimes the truth does not seem to exist Is it that your eyes on you are playing tricks? Do want to hear a silent voice? Shut your ears and open your heart it’s your choice
