Molly lost her sight when she was 14
Blinded by disease, she was afraid of the dark
She was tortured through the years with non-stop bullying
She just kept getting stronger with each hateful remark
'Cause she can see the light shine in the night
And she can see the beauty that's inside
If you would ask her right this moment if she'd ever change a thing
She would smile and just say, "There's a reason for everything"
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Ellen lost her son at only 17
The drugs just couldn't numb him from the pain anymore
It's the saddest sight his family had ever seen
Their hearts fell to their stomachs when they found him on the floor
He couldn't see the light shine in the night
He couldn't see it'd all turn out alright
If he had stopped back for a moment and seen how much he was loved
He would never lay his finger on the trigger of that gun
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Taylor lost her mom when she was 24
They didn't catch the cancer 'til too little too late
She has never felt an emptiness like this before
She didn't think she'd ever be retrieved of the weight
But now she sees, what family really means
And she still sees, her mother in her dreams
If you could ask her in a moment what the lesson she was
She'd say never waste a moment on the people that you love
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Contemplated death more times than you would think
I'm thankful every day I was afraid of the knife
I was left alone with me, it pushed me to the blink
Until somebody showed me just how special is a life
I couldn't see what really mattered then
And now I see the value of a friend
If you'd have asked me in those moments if I could escape that Hell
I would never ever imagined I'd be doin' quite this well
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Open (open) up your eyes
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes
