Grateful I Opened My Eyes

[Verse 1]

It's easy to point the finger

When something feels out of place

Judging someone else's cracks

So I don't have to face my own mistakes

We talk like we've got the answers

Like our version is the only truth

But even the ones at the top will tell you

There's still so much left to prove

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a moment right before we react

A quiet space we always miss

We can stay stuck in the story

Or choose a different kind of shift

[Chorus]

You can't judge and be grateful

At the exact same time

One closes the heart

The other lets the light inside

Start small, start right here

Grateful I opened my eyes

Grateful for another day

Watch how the world starts to align

[Verse 2]

Someone was rude this morning

I could carry it all day long

Or smile at the next stranger

And let that weight be gone

One choice keeps me counting hours

Wondering what else will go wrong

The other opens up the day

And lets me move along

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a moment right before we react

A quiet space we always miss

We can stay stuck in the story

Or choose a different kind of shift

[Chorus]

You can't judge and be grateful

At the exact same time

One closes the heart

The other lets the light inside

Start small, start right here

Grateful I opened my eyes

Grateful for another day

Watch how the world starts to align

[Bridge]

Most people never say "I was wrong"

They point to the world instead

But that little gap where we decide

Is where the real power lives

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]

You can't judge and be grateful

At the exact same time

One closes the heart

The other lets the light inside

Start small, start right here

Grateful I opened my eyes

Grateful for another day

Watch how the world starts to align

[Outro]

Grateful I woke up

Grateful I'm still here

That's enough to begin
