Open Our Eyes

Earth Wind And Fire Open Our Eyes Lyrics
1.Mighty Mighty

Maurice white & verdine white

Walk around, why wear a frown
Say little people, try to put you down
What you need, a helpin' hand
All the strength, at your command

How's ya faith? cause ya faith is you
Who you kiddin', to yourself be true
Spread ya love, for a brighter day
For what ya search, you'll find a way

We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our hearts lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from

Eagle flies, every seven days
Still cryin the blues, all about ya pay
What ya gonna do? bout your living thang
Will ya make it better, or just complain

Everday is real, don't run from fear
Cause better days are very near
There are times when you are bound to cry
One more time, head to the sky

We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our hearts lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from


2.Devotion

Maurice white & philip bailey

Thru devotion, blessed are the children
Praise the teacher, that brings true love to many
Your devotion, opens all life's treasures
And deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
Ringin' voices sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song, to make your day brighter.
One that will last, you long thru troubled days.
Giving your heart the light to brighten.
All of the dark that falls in your way
You need devotion. bless the children
Deliverance from the fruits of evil

In everyone's life, there's a need to be happy.
Let the sun shine, a smile your way.
Open your heart, feel a touch of devotion.
Maybe this song, will help uplift your day.

Make a better way
You need devotion


3.Fair But So Uncool

Charles stepney & rick giles

Glory seeker, fortune hound, don't you ever,
Break it on down.
Ain't you been to school
Ain't you learned the rules
Ain't you paid them dues
The life you need is fair, fair but so uncool

Rip off artis, shootin' down.
If you dig it, you're a clown-
Can't you understand
Can't you lend a hand
Can't you be a man
Greedy joker, slidin' by, dealin' jones-ses with a high

Don'cha see it's wrong
Don'cha wait too long
Don'cha hear this song
Time is passin', time is gone
Meet your mirror, further on
Won't you ever yearn
Ever yearn to learn
Won't ya take ya turn
The life you lead is fair, fair
But so uncool (repeat out)


4.Feelin' Blue

Kenny altman

Where, do you go, when you're lost.
Is it up, is it down, is it here

And what, do you see, in the dark
Is it real, is it me, are you scared

Do you believe in yourself
Are you good, are you bad, are you there

And can you confess to the morning light
And be true, what to do-
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue
Tell me truth, if you can
Do you know, who you are
In a dream

Do you forget, when you open
Your eyes, and you lose, what to do-
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue

Do you believe in yourself
Are you good, are you bad, are you there

Just leave it alone, let it go
Will you see, will you wait, has it gone

Then why, do you sleep in your chair
No there's not much to do-
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue


5.Kalimba Story

Maurice white & verdine white

Saw it in a store, one day.
Thought it might, make me play
Future music all for you-

Seen me thru my hardest times-
Thought it was 'bout time, to open
A new world just for you-

Fills all my needs, gave me the key
Door was open, for me to see
Playin around the world, touchin'
All the boys and girls with a new
Love to make them free

Kalimba, ooh kalimba, play me a tune
Kalimba, ooh kalimba, i'm glad i found you
Kalimba, ooh kalimba, play me a tune
Kalimba, ooh kalimba sends a message to you

If you lend an ear, and you have no fear
The vibration will move your mind
It's new to you, sounds true to you
Sacred music before it's time

Play it for ya now, wanna see
Just how, my kalimba get next to you
Are you ready now, well get ready
Come along, groove with the new-

Kalimba, ooh kalimba, play me a tune
Kalimba, ooh kalimba, i'm glad i found you
Kalimba, ooh kalimba, play me a tune
Kalimba, ooh kalimba sends a message to you

7.Tee Nine Chee Bit

Maurice white, charles stepney & philip bailey

I been tusslin' in my bed, not with
Her, but the pillow instead. do i got to
Beg and plead for no woman to make
Love to me. just a wee bit of her time
Said, i need somebody i can call all mine.
We ain't got to push a shove
Give me just a tee nine chee bit of your love.

(repeat)

She got me walkin, in my stocking feet-
To watch her dress up, is my only treat
Spend all my money, and it goes to her
What more woman, you're gonna get me rough.
My head is itchin' needs a rub
Even scratched my back on the side of the tub-
Give me just a tee nine chee bit of your love.

(repeat: out)

10.Open Our Eyes

Leon lumkins

Father, open our eyes, that we
May see, to follow thee. oh lord
Grant us, thy lovin' peace, and let
All dissension cease. let our fait,
Each day increase,
And master - lord please-
Open our eyes, open our eyes-

He has given us, hills and mountains, he
Has given us, level places.
He has given us food and clothing,
Given us shelter from the storm and the rain-
And all that he provided,
Kept us shelter from the storm and the rain-

Grant us thy lovin' peace,
And let all dissension cease,
Let our faith each day increase,
And master - lord please
Open our eyes, open our eyes
