Dreaming With My Eyes Open

Dreaming With My Eyes Open - The Hit Crew

I spent half my life on bended knee

Begging somebody to change

And the other half prayin' to God

That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost

When it all turned out the same

But all that beggin' finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night

Of the day that was gone

But come the mornin' light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'

With my eyes wide open

I'll do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'

Or spend our whole life hopin'

'Cause in the end we're left with

The one we chose

So I'll do my dreaming

With my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on

I fell a little further behind

From runnin' back

Or followin' someone home

Till I learned that one step forward

Will take you further on

Than a thousand back

Or a million that ain't your own

I used to dream all night

Of the day that was gone

But come the mornin' light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'

With my eyes wide open

I'll do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'

Or spend our whole life hopin'

But in the end we're left with

The one we chose

So I'll do my dreaming

With my eyes wide open

We can do some livin'

Or spend our whole life hopin'

'Cause in the end we're left with

The one we chose

So I'll do my dreaming

With my eyes wide open
