Scared To Open My Eyes (The Pedestrians Version) Lyrics

Sometimes when I pray with faith

I feel you coming closer and closer to me

It seems you're looking in my face

Seems all I can do is sit and be

I was going to town and I came to the light

I saw a hungry man with emptiness in his eyes

I tried not to look at him holding his sign

I tried though I know he knew my

Fake glance was a lie

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Oh I was in another country

This boy had no clothes

I felt so bad I had to turn away

He couldn't know I hadn't seen this before

He couldn't know I didn't know what to say

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing

My friend's in prison

Now he's done something wrong

He writes me letters sometimes

He asks when I'll visit

It's been so long

So long, So long

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there

Sometimes I'm scared

To open my eyes

For fear that I might

See you standing there
