Marvelous Green Eyes
I’m telling you this not to scare you,
But to dare you
To dream up a different reality
A reality in which you’re loved, you are cherished and are marveled at
Now, I know marveling isn’t easy when you hold your eyes shut
The world can be a scary place when you’re going in blind
But it only takes 1 second to open those big green eyes
So that way you see it isn’t so scary anymore
He can’t hurt you anymore
He can’t get to you anymore
I know it was scary,
But all on your own,
You did it
You dreamt up a different reality
A better one, a brighter one
One where you are marveled at
Your big green eyes are protected now
You can put those once shining stars back in them
For you, and your green eyes are marveled at
And have the biggest, brightest stars
Filled with dreams and a happy reality
Don’t be scared to open those green eyes
I know it's scary,
But there’s a reason I told you all this
To prepare you, to dare you
To make you realize you already did dream a different reality.
You are now living a different reality
