Lyrics The String Cheese Incident

The String Cheese Incident

Close Your Eyes

Work his whole life to get where he is

Nothing gonna bring him down

His father was a man who worked so hard

Never could be around

His mama always wanted the best for him

Mama said make me proud

Too much, too fast, too little, too late

It all goes round can't get away

Close your eyes and look inside

And see what you can find

Open your mind and take time and learn from the soul

Loves his wife and loves the kids

And wonders if there's more

Looks around and sees his friends

All been done before

Goes to church on the holidays

Looking for something to light his way

Living for then and not for now

He wants to be free but he doesn't know how

All he knows is what he sees

So much more behind the scenes

Open wide, crawl deep inside

Open wide

He lost his way he's off the path

Gotta keep moving can't look back

Where he is and where he was

Will never be the same

The freedom that he searches for

Has no key, it?s an open door

The love he needs and hopes to find

Has been with him all the time
