SOJA – “Open My Eyes”

I open my eyes, each morning I rise
to find the truth I know that is there.
I’m lucky to breathe, I’m lucky to feel,
I’m glad to wake up, I’m glad to be here.
With all of this world, and all of its pain,
all of its lies, and all of its let downs…
I still feel a sense of freedom
So glad I’m around.
