you gotta two ton weight strapped upon your back
and it's too hard to carry for an everyday jack
i watch you struggle as you walk this road
why can't you stop and smell a rose
you can live for the things, but they'll crash you with their weight
blinding you to the point where it's too late
what will it take to realize
no man is above his own demise

after all is said and done,
and you look up to the sun
will you remember:
you've gotta open up your eyes
there's only one who can save you
when you come to realize
come to realize that he loves you, like nobody does

i hear all the words coming from your mouth
all this complaining is wearing me out
how many times can you sing that same old song
it's all you do, to pass the time along
you sit all comfy in your rocking chair
daydreaming - as if you were not there
don't you think, it's time to get out of bed
instead of living life inside your head

after all is said and done
and you look up to the sun
will you remember:
you've gotta open your eyes
there's only one who can save you
when you come to realize
come to realize that he loves you

i know, life can seam so hard to take
sometimes every move you make
can tear you down, or paralyze your faith
let it go, give it to the great i am
he'll be there to help you stand
will you remember
you've gotta open up your eyes
there's only one who can save you
when you come to realize
that he loves you
