Open Your Eyes


You are human Whether your name is Gerry Truman Or Lindsey Thomas. We are all alike, this I promise Resolute in our being There is no need for bleeding We can't change the facts Only make loving pacts A woman, bruised and battered A raging husband, whose mind is shattered All in one piece, she seems to stay But her presence never tends to sway She keeps her courage, hoping for the best The sleepless nights, stealing proper rest We see, men you'll see There's no need to be Such a vengeance to take Is never worth her life at stake If she pays your price, all is a lie If you aren't loving and honestly try Then leave us be, I just pray that you'll see Never treat them rough It won't make you look tough Even those words cut like ice Be careful, or you'll pay a price I speak in regard, for the women, The men Who love with every thing And don't make love sting I hope for the man, Who is a friend of anger To guard yourself Guard your woman, and guard your heart For it isn't too late for an honest, new start
