Never Close Your Eyes Again


Never close your eyes again

 

No days go by without a victory,

No stars shine, no moon rise, no love,

Finding beauty in a language not history,

But a rose, a saint, a flying dove,

An angel voice turning to the vision of light,

As you can see, who’s stronger than me,

Strange to the righteous of the night,

Stay ever close to what you will be,

And to the possibilities of your land,

Normally we wouldn’t see eye to eye,

But never close your eyes again,

You are the heaven upon high
