its time you understand

00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,380 Dont ever count on anybody else

in this or

any other land

i once hoped for friendship

to find a place among my kind

but those were the childish wishes

of someone who was blind

open up your eyes

see the world from where i stand

me among the mighty

you

caged at my command

open up your eyes

give up your sweet fantasy land

it's time to grow up and get wise

come now little one

open up your eyes

we all start out the same with simple naive trust

shielded from the many ways that life's not fair or just

but then there comes a moment a simple truth that you must face

if you depend on others you'll never find your place

and as you take that first step

upon a path that's all you own

you see it all so clearly

the best way to survive is all alone

open up your eyes

see the world from where i stand

me among the mighty you

caged at my command

open up your eyes

and behold the fading light

it's time to grow up and get wise

come now little one

00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,460 open up your

eyes

open up your eyes
