Close Your Eyes

The String Cheese Incident

Work his whole life to get where he is
Nothing gonna bring him down
His father was a man who worked so hard
Never could be around

His mama always wanted the best for him
Mama said make me proud
Too much, too fast, too little, too late
It all goes round can't get away

Close your eyes and look inside
And see what you can find
Open your mind and take time and learn from the soul
Loves his wife and loves the kids

And wonders if there's more
Looks around and sees his friends
All been done before

Goes to church on the holidays
Looking for something to light his way
Living for then and not for now
He wants to be free but he doesn't know how

All he knows is what he sees
So much more behind the scenes
Open wide, crawl deep inside
Open wide

He lost his way he's off the path
Gotta keep moving can't look back
Where he is and where he was
Will never be the same

The freedom that he searches for
Has no key, it?s an open door
The love he needs and hopes to find
Has been with him all the time
