Eyes Wide Open

They try to silence my voice, they try to hold me down.

But I’m still screaming out “You better pray”. They call

me fanatic cause I can stand on my own. I speak

revivalist. I got this fire shut up in my bones. They

call me fanatic. And all the church doors they stay

closed because I testify. They preach sermons but still

don’t know. The fanatical forerunner. I prepare the way.

I speak a message of truth. Take heed – I mean what I

say. You better pray. So hide yourself in the darkness.

Keep your prayers to yourselves, because any fool can

pray just to get recognized by someone else. The secret

life of fanatics, they can stand on their own because

they recognize the church doors stay closed. We pray with

our eyes open to see the victims of injustice. I’m not

just one man – All heaven stands with me. I’ve got a

message for the world: It’s not just us, you better pray.
