OPEN YOUR EYES
You didn’t even open your eyes to see her
You didn’t even open your eyes.
She was a person and a soul
Made up of flesh and blood and bone.
We don't know who she would be.
She might have had some hopes and dreams.
Now I wonder do you think,
As her life runs down the sink
of how your free to chase your own?
As if you didn't care.
Like she wasn't even there.
You didn't even open your eyes to see her
You didn't even open your eyes.
I know you looked right at her
But you didn't open your eyes.
There was a time in years gone by
When a mother'd sacrifice
Some of her dreams to make some room
For the child within her womb
But now look who pays the price
I know there's evil in this world
But I never thought you would
Throw away our little girl
Just because you could.
As if you didn't care
Like she wasn't even there
A lie became the truth in 73
You believed because they said it on tv
They made a law that's not a law
Said you've the right to choose your will
I don’t know what you think you saw,
How that gave you the right to kill.
As if you didn't care
Like she wasn’t even there
You didn't even open your eyes to see her
You didn't even open your eyes
I thought I'd tell you my goodbye
Not that I need to see you cry
But I thought that I might see
A little pain or empathy
But I saw nothing in your eyes.
As if you didn't care
Like I wasn't even there.
You didn't even open your eyes this morning
You didn't even open your eyes.
You looked right through me
But you didn't open your eyes
As if you didn't care.
Like we were never even there.
Some look at numbers for the cost
They count the lives in millions lost
Then say that we should “love them both”
Discount the one who's lost the most
I don't understand this view
That we'll have to stand to lose a few
Even one's a holocaust
Is it just too much to care
For each and every person there?
So you think I'm judging you?
Well I'm convicted by this too
With the rest who step aside
To let you excercise your rites
Of this bloody sacrifice!
As if you didn’t care.
Like she wasn’t even there
You didn’t even open your eyes to see her
You didn’t even open your eyes.
I know you looked right at her face..
Guess you didn’t open your eyes.
God help us
Open our eyes.
