Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open
(Tony Arata)
I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayinç£Ã‹Å“o God
That they never would
And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin?finally did somebody good
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
I�l do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end weç£Ã¢â‚¬â€œe left with
The one we chose
So I�l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From running back or following someone home
Until I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ainç£Ã‹Å“
Your own
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
I�l do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end weç£Ã¢â‚¬â€œe left with
The one we chose
So I�l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end weç£Ã¢â‚¬â€œe left with
The one we chose
So I�l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Momma told me one day it was gonna happen
But she never told me when
She told me it would happen when I was much older
Wish it would've happened then (Is this the end?)
Chorus
Verse One: Puff Daddy
Sometimes I be wakin up at high noon
sayin, "Why me Lord?" -- folks thinkin I'ma die soon
I just tell em keep seekin, but when they sleepin
I be concealed up in my room, knowin that it could happen
I'm just tryin to maintin, because the future is untold
till the static unfolds that the good die young
Please God l
