Don’t close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

The world will disappear

Your dreams will go clear

And everything that you fear

Will come to life

Don’t close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

Your friends will stray from your side

They’ll go and try to hide

And you, without a guide,

Will fall behind

Don’t close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

All the things that you enjoy

Will suddenly seem coy

You’ll be a broken toy

Alone, naïve and helpless

Don’t close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

Then you’ll be surprised

When you open up your eyes

And see through their disguise

The truth will kill you

Don’t close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

Everything will grime

The water turns to slime

The world is just a mime

Silent to your questions

Please, close your eyes

‘Cause if you stop looking even for a second

I can be there with you

To love you deep and true

Just like we always knew

To keep each other forever
