(sung) EYES WIDE OPEN now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

Eagles flying over my head

circling as I sing ya

and if I hadn't known before

a blessed witnessing

a blessed witnessing!

Eyes Wide Open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you!

All of our minds together as one

sitting all night to pray

ancestors, the moon and sun

showing us the way

showing us the way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

Eyes wide open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

Shake the rattle, beat the drum

our Elders' voices rise

sickness that was there is gone

healed before our eyes

healed before our eyes

Eyes wide open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

Sweetgrass, sage and tobacco

we make an offering

say a prayer and let it go

Creator moves within

Creator moves within

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

way-he-anna-win-ya-way

(prayer spoken in Mohawk)

(translation) A long time ago

I forgot good things

I forgot my family

I forgot spirit

A long time ago

I forgot spirit

I wish for good things

I wish for spirit!

I wish for spirit

Eyes wide open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

This life doesn't end with death

there's a journey left to make

ancestors watch over us

and guide the path we take

guide the path we take

Eyes wide open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

Eyes wide open now

eyes wide open

eyes wide open now

I see you

I see you

(whispered) I see you
