Quotes: Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your eyes open

The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers, just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings

In backyards
Winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and
Keeps score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting, for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching, to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

So here you are
Two steps ahead, and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far

This song encourages me.
