When You Close Your Eyes

When you’re feeling sad,

When you’re feeling blue

And you just can’t find anything that’s new…

When you feel like giving up

And you just don’t want to try,

Just sit back and close your eyes.

You will see the horizon setting on the beach.

You will feel the sugar sand rush beneath your feet.

You will hear the breeze ringing.

You will hear the wind singing.

Put your worries and your fears all away.

Save them for yourself on a rainy day.

Reach high for your dreams,

Beyond the stars and the beams.

Don’t ever keep your soul in disguise.

Release it all when you close your eyes.

When you show your face

And you flash a smile,

You make every moment worthwhile.

Then, you put your life in action

Filling it with satisfaction…

Filling so many hearts with hope and passion.

Don’t let people tell you

Your heart is broken and poor.

Just let your wings out

And start to soar.

Remember who you are

In God’s eyes.

Don’t ever keep your heart

In the Devil’s disguise.

Watch the sun as it will rise.

Forget about all the worries and the lies.

Don’t ever keep your soul in disguise.

Release it all into the big blue skies.
