Matthew West – Dream Again lyrics

[Verse 1]
One stopped on the day she heard him say
"I don't love you anymore"
One stopped on the front porch, 6 years old
Watching dad walk out the door

[Chorus 1]
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

[Verse 2]
One stopped when the doctors said
"You'll never have a baby of your own"
And one stopped after two attempts at rehab
Couldn't help him get control

[Chorus 2]
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again
Dream again
Your lungs are still breathing
Your heart is still beating
The end's where the future begins
Just open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

[Verse 3]
All your would've beens
Your could've beens
Your should've beens
Just give 'em all to me
Take one last look at who you were
And now let me show you who you still can be

[Chorus 2]
Open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And dream again
Come on and dream again
Your lungs are still breathing
Your heart is still beating
The end's where the future begins
Open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And dream again

[Bridge]
I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
Yes, I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future

[Chorus 3]
Just open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

[Verse 4]
One starts at the altar where
"I'll never love again" becomes "I do"
One starts with a whisper, child
You've always had a Father here with you
And one starts with a baby in the backseat
That they thought they'd never be bringing home
And one starts down on bended knee crying
"Jesus, I finally see, I can't beat this on my own"

[Chorus 3]
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again
