All of the tubes in the hospital room
Pinching and twisting life
And the clock ticks on but the light is off
Behind your eyes
Should I have done more for you?
Should I have done more than you asked me too?

Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes
Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes

All of those years so carelessly spent
And all of the chances that I had
To tell you that I've been there too, and I understand
Tell you that I've been there too and it's so hard to be a man

And these doctors disagree as you're dying there in front of me

Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes
Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes

Angels, teachers, saints, where are you now
When life's on the line
And there's no more time
We have lived badly, we have lived sadly
Life it shakes us, death it wakes us, life it takes us
To the center again

Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes
Daddy open your eyes, please open your eyes
