Eyes Open

Yeah...

Funny thing about waking up...

Sometimes your eyes are open

long before you actually see.

I spent so long looking through the window...

Never noticing the view.

But today...

Today I see it.

Let's go.

I used to wake up just to get through the day,

Chasing every minute while it slipped away.

Had my head down, always somewhere else,

Running from the moment, running from myself.

Didn't see the sunlight dancing on the wall,

Didn't hear the rain when I heard it fall.

Didn't stop to notice how the cold wind felt,

Didn't know the little things could save you from yourself.

Now I see the morning through a different frame,

Same old street but it don't look the same.

There's a bird on the wire singing out of tune,

And somehow that little song just changed the room.

Maybe I've been looking too far ahead,

Maybe I've been living in the things I never said.

Maybe all this time, what I was searching for

Was standing right beside me...

Right outside the door.

I choose life!

I choose now!

I choose every little thing

I never noticed until now!

I choose the sunrise,

I choose the rain,

I choose the tears,

I choose the pain.

I choose the laughter,

I choose the fight,

I choose the darkness

It makes me see the light!

I choose life!

Yeah, I choose life!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Whoa-oh-oh!

I choose life!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Eyes open!

Yeah, I choose life!

Now I'm finding little miracles everywhere,

Steam from a paper cup, floating up, through the air.

Somebody laughing three tables away,

A kid chasing pigeons like it's the best game.

Sun on my face when I'm walking down the road,

Old man's waving from a house that I know.

A man holds a door for a woman when they didn't have to,

And suddenly the world feels a little less cruel.

It's not always sunshine, I know that now,

Some days come heavy and they knock you down.

But I don't need perfect, I don't need easy,

I just need a reason to keep looking freely.

'Cause the cracks let the daylight through,

And the scars tell me I made it through.

Every bad day, every wrong turn,

Every bridge that I crossed and every lesson learned.

Chivalry ain't dead bro,

But is was kinda hiding, though.

Maybe I've been looking too far ahead,

Waiting for a future that existed in my head.

Maybe all this time, what I was searching for

Was standing right beside me...

Just outside the door.

I choose life!

I choose now!

I choose every little thing

I never noticed until now!

I choose the sunrise,

I choose the rain,

I choose the tears,

I choose the pain.

I choose the laughter,

I choose the fight,

I choose the darkness

It makes me see the light!

I choose life!

Yeah, I choose life!

I CHOOSE LIFE!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Yeah I choose life!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Eyes open!

Yeah I choose life
