From the recording Opening Our Eyes
Lyrics
Opening Our Eyes
by Michael Lyon
Look across this land
Where the future lies
Help us in opening our eyes
There they make a stand
Against violence out of hand
It’s land that belongs to them
It’s theirs to live their lives
Some are unconcerned
As honesty is spurned
We hold these truths to be inspired
Lessons that we’ve learned
From those who gave their lives
Led to a freedom-loving country
One to be admired
Look across this land
Where the future lies
Help us in opening our eyes in time to save their lives
