All-4-One - Open Up Your Eyes Lyrics
Lyrics
Yeah
All-4-One
Uh, here we go
I saw you yesterday
And you tried to not see me
But as our eyes said hello
I wondered if we'd ever be close
Cuz you keep playing
Games with me
Telling me you're feeling me
I just want to believe you're down with me
But I can't let myself be so naive
What's it gonna take to make you serious
Is it love? It is trust?
Baby won't you take a chance on us
How can I make you feel just the way I do
I keep giving you the sign
But you gotta open up your eyes
You called me to explain
Why you couldn't talk to me
You said that you needed space
And now you say that you still want me
If it's love you want
If it's love you need
Why can't you see
That we could be
Everything you want
And everything that you need
Girl open up your eyes and you will see
What's it gonna take to make you serious
Is it love? It is trust?
Baby won't you take a chance on us
How can I make you feel just the way I do
I keep giving you the sign
But you gotta open up your eyes
Girl I wish that you would just make up your mind
Cuz it seems to me we're running out of time
Baby I'm tired of all your alibis
And I wish that you'd just open up your eyes
What's it gonna take to make you serious
Is it love? It is trust?
Baby won't you take a chance on us
How can I make you feel just the way I do
I keep giving you the sign
But you gotta open up your eyes
What's it gonna take to make you serious
Is it love? It is trust?
Baby won't you take a chance on us
How can I make you feel just the way I do
I keep giving you the sign
But you gotta open up your eyes

Meaning & Inspiration
All-4-One's "Open Up Your Eyes," released in the midst of their continued musical journey, carries a profound message that resonates deeply, particularly when viewed through a spiritual lens. While the official music video for "I Can Love You Like That" was released in 2021, the song "Open Up Your Eyes" itself speaks to a timeless truth: the transformative power of spiritual awakening and seeing the world and oneself through a lens of divine love and understanding. The core of this song is an invitation to shed the blindness of worldly concerns and superficialities and to embrace a deeper, more authentic perspective. This mirrors the biblical call to spiritual discernment, as seen in passages like Hebrews 4:12, which states, "For the word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." The song urges listeners to look beyond the immediate and the material, much like Jesus taught in Matthew 6:19-20: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." "Open Up Your Eyes" encourages a shift in focus from the fleeting to the eternal, from earthly limitations to heavenly possibilities. It speaks to the idea that true sight isn't just about physical vision but about recognizing the presence of God and His purposes in our lives, as Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:18, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." The song's message is a powerful reminder that when we truly open our spiritual eyes, we can perceive the beauty, grace, and hope that surround us, even in challenging times, leading to a more fulfilling and divinely guided existence.
