Nana Mouskouri - Open Your Eyes lyrics

Open your eyes my newborn son

See your world that's new begun

Growing the land beneath our feet

Heaven sent across to eat crust

Hush-a-bye taste the sweetness of your years

By and by we'll all learn the taste of tears.

Open your eyes my growing son

There is hard work to be done

Follow your father to his toil

His bend your back and break the soil

Who can say what you sow beneath the sand

Day by day something stirs our sleeping land

Open your eyes my gentle son

Take your leave and take your gun

Follow your father through the hills to the hills

Heaven gives and heaven kills

Go with God and the youg men in their prime

Here I'll wait where I waited all through time

Open your eyes my beloved son

Is your day so quickly done ?

How can you fall asleep so soon

When the sun stands yet at noon ?

Walk with me where we walked spring ago

Come and see the flowers have begun to grow

La la la la la la la la la
