Open Your Eyes

The rivers ran dry, the oceans emptied

The lone magpie's cry spells the end of the day

Promises made, now are broken

Crushed in the clay

Deep now, under the ground

Young as the morning, bright as dawning day

I adored you, felt you under my skin

Promises made were made in earnest

That beautiful day, lifetime ago

Under the trees

Open your eyes wide and take it all in

How could you hide when your love was there

Calling your name

Open your eyes wide and take it all in

You made yourself blind boy

It's all down to you

Now our rivers restoring, time and tide rolls on

Ebbing and flowing, pulled by the same moon

Seeds that we sowed are thriving, that's our boys

Look at them grown

Brave and strong, mother you are

Open your eyes wide and take it all in

Remember the times we had and the stories to tell

Open your eyes wide and take it all in

We made new life

It's all about them

The rivers ran dry, the oceans emptied

The lone magpie's cry calls a new dawning day.
