You opened your eyes today only to
find a war going on.
You opened your eyes to a world full of pain.
You opened your eyes to a tear filled child.
you opened you eyes today and looked to the heavens.
You wondered why you opened your eyes at all.
As the tears begin to fall
you're not so sure you understand.
You opened your eyes today and asked God
why did he have to die, why did he have to go away.
You opened your eyes to a soldier
who died doing what he believed.
You opened your eyes today
and this time you understood
why you opened your eyes.
