Verse 1
Generating hits, you've got several smashes
You should be smiling from ear to ear
Why the sadness and disappointment?
There are many who would kill to be in your spot
That's not an exaggeration
It's a proven fact
If your eyes were wide open, you'd know this
Step outside of white and be in black
To experience the way that things are
Every spectrum of the rainbow
Waiting to capture your attention
Verse 2
A blockbuster falling into your lap
You're so lucky but you don't act that way
There are many who would trade places with you
Right or wrong, this is how it is
You try to shield yourself from knowing many things
Ignorance is not bliss
But you wish that were the case
Bells are always ringing inside your head
Stillness of mind is difficult to attain
If you step outside of white and be in black
Every spectrum of the rainbow will be revealed to you
Chorus
If your eyes are wide shut
Then so is your mind
Your heart is closed
And your spirit is broken
Running blindly without a care in the world
Indifferent to emotions and badly bruised
With your eyes wide shut
