Eyes Wide Open
Discovering Love's Transformative Power
Lyrics
My eyes were opened, my head was clearer
Reflecting on a moment of clarity and understanding.
My heart was thumping 'cause I knew I could hear
Feeling a strong, rhythmic heartbeat due to heightened awareness.
I had the warmest feeling in my mind, I knew
Experiencing a warm and positive sensation in the mind.
I had something to say, I had something to do
Realizing a purpose or a message to convey and act upon.
I had the strangest healing, feeling of love coming on me
Feeling an unusual but positive sense of love enveloping the speaker.
And when I met her at the station I was blind
Initially being blind but gaining clarity upon meeting someone.
Lord, but now I can see
A reference to newfound insight or understanding.
She wore white linen, she had a pearly white smile
Describing a woman in white linen with a bright, inviting smile.
Her feet, they were worn from walking long miles
Highlighting her commitment to aiding those overlooked by others.
She helped people that no one else helped saying
Encouraging people to assert their individuality and stand up for themselves.
Get up, stand up and be your own self
Expressing the shared experience of love's healing power.
You've got the helping healing feeling of love coming on you
Encouraging the listener to embrace the transformative power of love.
Son, be loving, be forgiving, be wholesome
Advising the speaker's son to embody qualities of love, forgiveness, and wholesomeness.
And for God's sake be true
Urging truthfulness and authenticity in actions.
And the last thing she said before she went on her way
Recalling the last words of the woman before her departure.
She said, "There is no right, no wrong, no one to blame
Stating a philosophical perspective on the absence of absolute right or wrong.
No blame"
Reiterating the idea that assigning blame is futile.
