Open Up Your Eyes - Daughtry HOB Orlando, 8/2/09

This is an older video but I've decided to put it on my channel page for a bit because it is such a stunning acoustic rendition of a beautifully poignant song that it really needs to be seen/heard. If you've never stopped to listen to the words, do it with this acoustic version. Breathtaking! Open Up Your Eyes lyrics Songwriters: Daughtry, Chris; Hodges, David; Moody, Ben; A single rose left to remember As a single tear falls from her eye Another cold day in December A year from the day she said goodbye Seems it's only been a moment Since the angels took him from her arms And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow But as they laid him in the ground Her heart would sing without a sound For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes A single lifetime lays behind her As she draws her final breath Just beyond the door he'll find her Taking her hand she softly says For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life
