You Opened My Eyes

You Opened My Eyes

Blinded by years of confusion
Wandering around in the dark
Moments of brief consolation
A prisoner of my own heart
Searching my soul for an answer
Looking for help from above
Not knowing who I could turn to
Or where I could look to find love

You opened my eyes, I couldn’t see
All of this beauty surrounding me
An answer to prayer you came along,
Showed me the way righted the wrongs
You gave me wings and taught me to fly
You set me free, you opened my eyes
I still remember the moment
Your love lifted the veil
Blues skies and sunny tomorrows
Replaced what was cloudy and pale
I never thought for a moment
At this point in life I could find
Everything I’d ever dreamed of
Was waiting right there all the time

You opened my eyes, I couldn’t see
All of this beauty surrounding me
An answer to prayer you came along,
Showed me the way righted the wrongs
You gave me wings and taught me to fly
You set me free, you opened my eyes

The price that was paid for the choices I made
And for foolishly standing alone
Stumbling around not knowing up from down
‘Till I heard your voice calling me home

Repeat Chorus to fade
