My eyes are wide shut

Looking at the world around me

Moving swiftly but going no where.

My eyes are wide shut

Seeing but not believing the insanity that surrounds me.

My eyes are wide shut

Struggling to be a teenager 

Struggling to make my life matter.

My eyes are wide shut

Focusing on the here and now

Wondering will there be a future for me.

My eyes are wide shut

Scared to see my life through their eyes

I need to make my own bold statement so the world can know...

My eyes are wide shut

To understanding the injustice and inequality that exists

To make a change that positively impacts my community.

My eyes are wide shut

Let victory and justice prevail 

Lets open our eyes to what is really real.
