Open Your Eyes

Give me time, time to heal, as I sow my simple thoughts through your open field.
Wait for a sign, it doesn't matter now what's wrong or right.
You won't open up your eyes, because you know the things you see might blind them.
But you'd never turn away, oh no, because you've felt the things in life that bind us.
Won't you fall, but never break, you've got more to give now than I could ever take.
Won't you live, far past my time and give yourself away to open minds.
You won't open up your eyes, because you know the things you see might blind them.
But you'd never turn away, oh no, because you've felt the things in life that bind us, entwine us.
You won't open up your eyes, because you know the things you see might blind them.
But you'd never turn away, oh no no, because you've felt the things in life that bind us.
You won't open up your eyes.
Why won't you open up your eyes?
You won't open up your eyes because you know the things you see might blind them.

Better Way

You don't know just where you're going, and I don't always have the time.
You're following them brainwashed notions, you're out of touch and out of line.
I Know there's got to be a better way.
Yes I know there's got to be a better way.
If love is wrong, then nothings right by me.
When I'm out I see you walkin, but you just always pass me by.
You're well attuned with self absorption, you're mother natures best design.
I Know there's got to be a better way.
Yes I know there's got to be a better way.
If love is wrong, then nothings right by me.
I Know there's got to be a better way.
Yes I know there's got to be a better way.
If love is wrong, then nothings right by me.
Yeah if love is wrong, then nothings right by me.

Wave Goodbye

You and I we fall
Went for something real and lost it all
Take my hand into the night
Let's find the thing we had and bury it alive
When I see you there's a light behind your eyes
Won't you stop and say hello before you wave goodbye
Before you wave goodbye
Now and then are really all the same
Pictures circle through my head and the walls they rearrange
Speak to me now of morning light
Let's find the thing we had its time to wave goodbye
When I see you there's a light behind your eyes
Won't you stop and say hello before you wave goodbye
Before you wave goodbye
When I see you there's a light behind your eyes
Won't you stop and say hello before you wave goodbye
When I see you
It's when I see you
When I see you won't you stop and say hello
before you wave goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Wizard

You can judge me for the words I say
Like tantric tremors of the tongue
You can judge me for the things been said about me
For idle hearts will fling their mud
And you can judge me for the things my mother taught me
Strike me down without a thought
But never judge me for the burning will inside me
Cause a wizard taught me everything I know
Yes a wizard taught me everything
A mighty wizard taught me everything I know
Yes a wizard taught me everything
A mighty wizard taught me everything I know
You can judge me in the dark of night
Or in the brightest light of day
While words of wisdom trickle down through lathered hands
and disappear in minds of clay
You can judge me for the things my father taught me
Strike my name right off the page
But never judge the burning will that lives inside me
Cause the wizard's here and now he's here to stay
Yeah the wizards come but have no fear
The wizards come and now he's here to stay
Yeah the wizards come but have no fear
A mighty wizards come and now he's here to stay
