Lyrics
One Eye Open
the hero of my heart
well, he?s down for the count
pinned beneath an avalanche of comfort
but even on his back
he refuses to give up
?cause he?s still got
one eye open
one eye shut
and one eye open
he?s all bruised up
but nothing?s broken
nothing?s broken
from down here on the floor
this world looks big and I feel small
defeated once again by dust and ashes
but I will rise again
?cause I just can?t quit this game
though the point of it only comes to me in flashes
with one eye shut
and one eye open
I?m all bruised up
hey, but nothing?s broken
nothing?s broken?
I?ve got this dream that just won?t die
and dreams don?t come with reasons why
they come with things you?ve got to do
I may not make it through the race
I may fall flat upon my face
but at least I?ll wake up some place new?
with one eye shut
and one eye open
I?m all bruised up
hey, but nothing?s broken
nothing?s broken?
