Open Eyes Lyrics - Singles - What's Left Of The Sun

These blocks bring back memories 

of the very gravel on the streets 

where a thousand dreams were born 

and shattered at young feet 

The feeling in the air here takes me on a solemn trip to my youth 

Old paths to new meadows 

The winds of misfortune are still screaming in my ears 

As autumn leaves tuck the wet asphalt and streets start to hibernate 

The cold draws in and the rain hits like nails driving into my skull 

As I stare at the future 

It's looking so bleak but there's a hint of a feeling 

and so the spirit grows 

When I needed it the most 

the seasons started a motion 

climate started to thaw 

the river flowed out into the ocean 

The cloud ran out of tears 

as spring turned into summer 

the leaves found their true colors, 

streets awakened from their slumber 

It was the nudge that I needed 

to keep my feet from shaking 

to endure this endless weather 

and to keep my eyes from mistaking 

a clearing in the forest, 

or was it an illusion? 

I stumbled weary and malnourished to the midst of my confusion 

To the eye of my storm 

Where my head found peace 

And I grew strong enough to carry the weight of the world 

Kicked out of the nest to stand alone on trembling legs, dispatched 

Courage is the stair all our virtues climb on to, at last
