Eyes Are Shut

Xavier Naidoo · Zwischenspiel [2003]

There was a time, where all felt fine

I came so close, to my personal cloud nine

Then right back down, I was earth-bound

Then right back up, this is what I found

I found Heaven-in those eyes,

what I saw-made me rise

rise to the stars, where love was all it was

rise to the stars, love was all it was, all it was



Refrain:

My eyes are shut but I still see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free

My eyes are shut but still I see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free



For once I might be right,

change my ways over night

realize what's right or wrong,

this life will write my song, on and on

This is what it will become, my inspiration for so long

'til the night sets free to dawn so long, so long, so long



My eyes are shut but I still see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free

My eyes are shut but still I see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free



Some things may come and go

disturbing this endless flow

and I see what's at show

I see so much more than I could know

what's making this happen to me?

I must examine it all to see

cause what's happening is endlessly

is endlessly



My eyes are shut but I still see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free

My eyes are shut but still I see

what is happening to me?

The beholder holds the key

lock me up or set me free
