Dreaming with my eyes open

Verse 1

They said my head was in the clouds,

Told me to come back down to ground.

But I can see a brighter view,

A world that’s waiting, shining through.

Pre-Chorus

Every “no” just feeds the fire,

Every fall just takes me higher.

They don’t see the path I’ve chosen,

But I’m alive, my soul has spoken.

Chorus

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Imagination’s high, it’s golden.

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Holding on to the goals I’ve chosen.

Verse 2

I’ve walked through nights that felt too long,

But in the dark, I found my song.

The stars align when faith is strong,

This dream was mine the whole way on.

Pre-Chorus

Every scar rewrites my story,

Every step reveals the glory.

I won’t break, my spirit’s broken—

Into light, the dawn has spoken.

Chorus

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Imagination’s high, it’s golden.

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Holding on to the goals I’ve chosen.

Bridge

Eyes wide open, I see it clear,

The future I dreamed is already here.

No more silence, no more fear,

The life I’m chasing is drawing near.

Chorus (Final – big and powerful)

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Imagination’s high, it’s golden.

I’m dreaming with my eyes open,

Holding on to the goals I’ve chosen.

(repeat chorus with layered vocals + ad-libs for that anthem finish)
