Open your eyes, oh brother

I wish to see your iris' color

and touch your face

and feel how ours are the same'

I know they hold your body oh so steady

while you lay oh so still

I know it's on your heart to see your loved ones

and God provide, I hope to see you too

So open your eyes and come up off that bed

and out of the room that binds you in solitude

I know that in either heaven or on earth

You'll walk again! You'll walk again!

Know that I do not fear for you

Your name is engrained in heaven's tablet

And if you never see the sun again

The Son you'll see will take you in

When all the bones in your body are aligned again

When the cheeks on your face reveal the smile I could never forget

We'll raise our glasses and give thanks for what we're given

We will both leave this world behind

We will go home, go when we die

But brother if you don't open your eyes

You may go home much sooner than I
