O Sleepless Eyes
Face the dawn, O sleepless eyes.
Face the troubles you have seen.
What went wrong, caught by surprise,
Only meaning to be free.
Cast your gaze, O sleepless eyes,
On what weariness you have known.
Unanswered, risen with helpless cry,
And to the wind were thrown.
Know your strength, O sleepless eyes,
That which bid you fight.
Hold the tongue found in your gaze,
They know not the war you fight.
And soften up, O sleepless eyes,
On those that look back into you.
May you come to realize,
What beauty there is true.
Face the troubles you have seen.
What went wrong, caught by surprise,
Only meaning to be free.
Cast your gaze, O sleepless eyes,
On what weariness you have known.
Unanswered, risen with helpless cry,
And to the wind were thrown.
Know your strength, O sleepless eyes,
That which bid you fight.
Hold the tongue found in your gaze,
They know not the war you fight.
And soften up, O sleepless eyes,
On those that look back into you.
May you come to realize,
What beauty there is true.
