Song Lyrics

Close your eyes for a little while
Let yourself go
Let the power tingle through you
Let the music help you find your rainbow

Realign your mind, soul and body, begin again
Time to get ready for childhood's end
Too many overfed, underfed, landrich, landless
The time has come for justice or maybe one last kiss

Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance
Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance

Mother earth raped and poisoned
Our souls have been denied too long
Blind ambition we can't see the forest
For the trees are all gone

Out of harmony moving too fast creating new animals
Torturing the ones we already have
The four directions lead us through the great mystery
Life, unity, equality, eternity

Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance
Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance

Warriors of the rainbow unite
From the darkness of the wasteland
Open up the inner light

Oh great spirit your breath gives life
I hear your voice in the wind
I come before you as a child
Seeking strength and wisdom

May I walk in beauty
And with your help
Overcome my greatest enemy
Myself

Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance
Got my eyes wide open time for new birth
Restore the balance

Steven Van Zandt
