Lyrics
Dreaming with Eyes Open Wide
By Gary Skankey
Riding on my pillow
My mind goes to a place
Where a million people
Know the smile on my face
Alarm disturbs my sleep
But the dream doesn't end
It's hard to believe
I'm before the world again
I must be...
Dreaming with eyes open wide
'Cause here I stand tonight
Drenched in blazing lights
Oh I'm dreaming with eyes open wide
Now I soar where eagles fly
Up in that glowing neon sky
I'll keep dreaming with eyes open wide
Livin' in the doldrums
I was just an average kid
Only time I was someone
Was in the visions in my head
Then I began my journey
Didn't know where it would go
The rocky road turned me
Into a song the whole world knows
Sing along as I'm...
From this place looking back at where I'd been
It's like I escaped from a cacoon and started life over again
