I Have Opened My Eyes

I know you know you’re trapped this here’s not an attack

I just wanna let you know your heart is not alone

I have a lot of traumas I don’t wanna keep

I know my lived experience is not so unique

As I share my hurt my pain

The way that folks have pulled me

In directions I don’t wanna go

But now I know me, so,

I won’t put up

With the stillness

It’s not the kind that brings me peace

And I know that

This life is not a breeze

So I’ve gotta change and be the breeze I wanna see

Chorus 1

So I’m changing

And I’m growing

I have opened my eyes

now I know where I’m going

So I’m changing

And I’m growing

I have opened my eyes

now I know where I’m going 

English Verse 2  

I’ve been known to take on projects

And fix others faults

Why do I keep forgetting that my help here is unprompted

Educating myself to work on me all day

As a promise to community that we’ll all be okay so,

I won’t put up

With the stillness

It’s not the kind that brings me peace

And I know that

This life is not a breeze

So I’ve gotta change and be the breeze I wanna see

So I’m changing

And I’m growing

I have opened my eyes

now I know where I’m going

(X2)

I have opened my eyes

now I know where I’m going

(X2)

Spanish Verse high violin line whole time

Cambiar no es fácil

Hay cosas que se heredan en idiomas ancestrales

Cambiar no es fácil

Hay tantas cosas que jamás aprendiste a decir y

Ahora tocará decirlas todas bien claritas

A pesar de que no sepas qué cositas son

Cantando esta mi alma

Y cantando vivo

Cantando ya no sufro

Cantando me libero

Asi que cambio

Y cresco

He abierto mis ojos se a donde voy

Estoy cambiando

Estoy creciendo

He abierto mis ojos

Se a donde voy

I have opened my eyes

now I know where I’m going (X2)

I have opened my eyes (x4)
