If I Could See the World

Sleepwalking through these times
My penance for a life of crimes
But somewhere beyond the alibis
There's a world of beauty outside my mind

I've been trying to debate my way out of reality
To explain and justify

The whispers from the voice inside
Now I'm drifting on a changing tide
I hate the drowning but I love the dives
Then judgment day arrives

Plotting all day, what am I gonna do?
How am I gonna do it?
So if you've got moral clarity
You're not in deep enough
It took me a long time to admit defeat
When I lose, I win
When I let go, I learn
And you never know where help is gonna come from

Sleepwalking through these times
Now the fall is over, so I'll begin to climb
Now can see the world through open eyes
A world of beauty outside my mind

I can see the world through open eyes
The world of beauty outside my mind
I can see the world through open eyes
So shout it from the mountainside
I can see the world through open eyes
The world of beauty outside my mind
