Eyes Wide Open

I'm in a tight spot - I don't know how to get out
It feels white hot - need an escape route
I give my best shot - and though I have my doubts I'll keep my  
EYES WIDE OPEN

I need a miracle - I'm in way too deep
To reach the pinnacle - From the bottom of the heap
So steep - can't sleep
BEEP BEEP - got to keep my  
EYES WIDE OPEN

So keep your shoulders square, head in the air and your EYES WIDE OPEN
Keep a steady stride, arms stretch to the side with your EYES WIDE OPEN
Let the journey begin with your ears tuned in and your EYES WIDE OPEN
Put your hand on the plow, feet on the ground and your  EYES WIDE OPEN

and WATCH OUT! WATCH IN!
BUG OUT! BEGIN!  EYES WIDE OPEN

LOOK OUT!  LOOK IN!
DIG OUT!  DIG IN!   EYES WIDE OPEN

You got no idea where to go - what to do
No idea what will pull you through
No idea - well it's up to you
To keep your EYES WIDE OPEN

Cuz there's a miracle - waitin' in the wings
There's a miracle, gonna make you sing
There's a miracle - just one thing:  
Keep your EYES WIDE OPEN

So keep your shoulders square - head in the air and your EYES WIDE OPEN
Keep a steady stride - arms stretch to the side with your EYES WIDE OPEN
Let the journey begin with your ears tuned in and your EYES WIDE OPEN
Put your hand on the plow - feet on the ground and your EYES WIDE OPEN

and WATCH OUT!  WATCH IN!
BUG OUT!  BEGIN!     EYES WIDE OPEN

LOOK OUT!  LOOK IN!
DIG OUT!  DIG IN!             EYES WIDE OPEN
