| One stopped on the day she heard him say
|
| «I don’t love you anymore»
|
| One stopped on the front porch, 6 years old watching dad walk out the door
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Open your eyes
|
| And dream again
|
| One stopped when the doctors said,
|
| «You'll never have a baby of your own»
|
| And one stopped after two attempts at rehab
|
| Couldn’t help him get control
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Open your eyes
|
| And dream again
|
| Your lungs are still breathing
|
| Your heart is still beating
|
| The end’s where the future begins
|
| Just open your eyes, open your eyes
|
| And dream again
|
| All your would’ve beens, your could’ve beens, your should’ve beens
|
| Just give ‘em all to me
|
| Take one last look at who you were
|
| And now let me show you who you still can be
|
| Open your eyes, just open your eyes
|
| And dream again
|
| I know the plans that I have for you
|
| A hope and a future, a future
|
| One starts at the altar where «I'll never love again» becomes «I do»
|
| One starts with a whisper, child, you’ve always had a Father here with you
|
| And one starts with a baby in the backseat that they thought they’d never be
|
| bringing home
|
| And one starts down on bended knee crying, «Jesus, I finally see,
|
| I can’t beat this on my own» |
