letra de don't sleep (open your eyes) "theme for the 90's" - def jef

[chorus: pamela fernandez]
open your eyes
wide open
don’t sleep
or you’ll get caught out there

open your eyes
oh so wide open
don’t sleep
you better stay awake

[verse 1: def jef]
people we need to awaken
(and away)
check the progress we’re makin’
but everybody’s connivin’ and snakin’
goin’ for self tryna get all they can
there’s enough to be spread around
you need to change of mind
so turn your head around
don’t live in the dark try to obtain light
don’t be blind to what’s right there in plain sight
evaluate the purpose of your existence
are you gonna fall short or go the distance?
you got the power to make the difference
persistence overcomes resistance
last year i saw you on a corner smoking a newport
drinking a 40 sayin’ “how life is too short”
i saw you the other day it’s funny how time flies
you’re doing the same thing, open your eyes
[chorus: pamela fernandez]
open your eyes
wide open
don’t sleep
or you’ll get caught out there

open your eyes
oh so wide open
don’t sleep
you better stay awake
and aware

[verse 2: def jef]
i know you’re scopin’ and hopin’
that while you creepin’ i’m sleepin’
i’m keepin’ one eye open
or you could say that i’m peepin’ out
the view when i’m cuein’
in with peripheral vision
it’s too much bull and wool bein’ pulled in my opinion
so the decision i made is to question the answer
the truth is the breast and the lie is the cancer
i got eyes in the back of my head, no need to warn me
ain’t no steps on my back, so you can’t run up on me
i’m alert and i’m on point
sharp, and i’m on the ball
i’m walking tall
i won’t stall
or take the fall or fail or fold or be fooled
cuz’ i’m fool proof
and i got to reach the youth
and teach the truth
but we won’t solve all the problems right away
but keep hope alive and the future will bring a brighter day
so open your eyes wide and take another glance
you might not get another chance
[chorus: pamela fernandez]
open your eyes
wide open
don’t sleep
or you’ll get caught out there

open your eyes
oh so wide open
don’t sleep
you better stay awake
and aware

[bridge: pamela fernandez]
people come together
time heals all wounds
and it’s never too late
open your eyes
and stick together
the longer you wait reveals your future

[verse 3: def jef]
there is one thing (and your fate) that i do hate
hearing people say it’s no hope and it’s too late
there’s always hope cause tomorrow’s another day
that might bring forth another way
or strategy to bring about more peace
feed the hungry people and make war cease
save the children cause they’re gonna save us
and make us realize the beauty god gave us
united we stand divided we fall apart
we’ll never get anywhere if we don’t start
somewhere and just take it from there
or else progress will become rare
if it’s still unclear then i’ll fine-tune it
we gotta come together as a unit
cause who knows where the future lies
so open your eyes and focus on the prize
