lyrics
When it feels like nothing really matters,
Or everything is standing in your way.
If you feel like nobody is listening
to the things you want to say
You can shout, you can cry, but the answer’s deep inside.
You have got to believe in yourself!
Open your eyes. Hold your head up high.
You can be anything, if you just try.
Open your eyes. Look up into the sky.
There’s a star, telling you, that’s what you are.
When you feel like no-one understands you,
Or everything you do is going wrong.
There must be a way to make it easier,
things will change before too long.
You can shout, you can cry, but the answer’s deep inside.
You have got to believe in yourself!
Just open your eyes. Hold your head up high.
You can be anything, if you just try.
Open your eyes. Look up into the sky.
There’s a star, telling you, that’s what you are.
Open your eyes, look up into the sky.
There’s a star, telling you, that’s what you are…
Just open your eyes. Hold your head up high.
You can be anything, if you just try.
Open your eyes. Look up into the sky.
There’s a star, telling you, what you are.
You can be, anything, if you try, you will see, if you just open your eyes…
You will see, what you can be, if you just open your eyes.
