Open your eyes
 
Open your eyes
..Welcome to your life..

You’ve been out of it for so long
But this is your time
That time, the time
That you have to say goodbye

How long has it been?
Do you even know where to go?
The plane is in your sight
But it’s just so hard to go
Please pick up your feet
And don’t forget your duffle
Move forward friend
Let your feet begin to shuffle

They won’t hold the plane
So look back one last time
You may never see this again
But if you do
It will never be the same

Time and time again
You walked this exact way
but it hasn’t felt like this
Although it’s hard to say
This time you’re going home
This time, you’re there to stay

Remember that you deserve this
Remember what you’ve done
Remember that we’re all here for you
Even though you’re gone

Remember that we love you
And remember that we care
Don’t ever forget those crazy times
When people would stop and stare
They could tell by our faces
That we just didn’t care

Remember that you’re gorgeous
And please always smile
At times you may cry
Just thinking about the miles

Physically away from each other
This may be true
But the thing you will always know
Is that we cry too
We miss you more than anything
We often think about your laugh
We will always remember you
This I promise, I will stand by you

It’s so hard to move forward
When there’s so much you’re leaving behind
Strangers who became family
Friends that were your best
The people that you’ve lived with
While you went through one of life’s many test

It’s always going to be hard
People will come in and out of your life
And you may not even get to say goodbye
At times you may not want to
They’ll leave your head up in the sky

Right now I’d like to tell you
I don’t want to say goodbye
It’s been really hard on me
Knowing that it’s time

Please always remember me
I can’t forget you

My life is forever changed
This all thanks to you

You’ve become my family
It’s hard sometimes to see
But things will never be the same
You will become a memory

Thousands of miles
Over this and that state
But one day I promise
That I will come through your front gate

You will answer the door
And I’ll see how much you’ve changed
You will still be beautiful
I may not have anything to say
A hug is what I’ll offer you
As tears run down my face

We will never forget
The time of our life
Where we became family
Family, for life



Open your eyes Gorgeous
Welcome to your life
