Open My Eyes

Blinded by tears Blinded by fears There seems to be no way out Trapped in a cage Gasping for breath Too weak to scream or shout My heart and soul Sapped of strength My faith feels all used up I cry out over And over again “Please take from me this cup” Time slips past Days fly by The world moving as I stand still Get me out of this cage Take away this pain Open my eyes to your puzzling Will I fall right down And get back up To be knocked down again I’m losing this race Losing my mind Is there really a way I can win? Trust is fading Hope is waning Though I fight to hold it close Why are you distant Why are you silent When I really need you the most? You created this soul You breathed it to life Which is why I question away I’m frustrated, angry Worried and broken Is there any other way? A heart on fire A faith unshaken Once stirred deep inside Now I’m left With emptiness And nowhere left to hide Take it away Take it away Please, please hear my cries Whatever it is You’re planning to do--- Open up my eyes.
