One day you'll open your eyes,
To a beauty that once wasn't known,
To a silence that once wasn't heard,
To a love that once wasn't shown,
One day you'll dream a dream,
Of a tear that never falls, Of a moment that never ends,
Of a world that never stalls,
One day you'll feel the touch,
Of an angels peaceful kiss,
Of a doves gentle wings,
Of the earth's perfect bliss,
One day you'll think no more,
Of the hearts you have broken,
Of the people you have burnt,
Of the words you have spoken,
One day you'll find your peace,
To live for from the start,
To give to all you know,
And to carry safely in your heart.
