What in the name of sam hill is this?

[Ferd]

This is a song playing on the big Christian station here in Dallas. (KLTY 94.9). It’s a catchy song. I like it. Yesterday driving home, it came on and I was singing along and the more I sang, the less it seemed like a Christian song. In fact, I really don’t know what exactly it is. So I got home, went to the computer and found the lyrics. I can’t figure it out! LOL!

So what is this? There is nothing bad about it. The song itself has a great hook but really? What is it?

Keep Your Eyes Open
Needtobreath


If you could soldier on, headstrong into the storm
I'll be here waiting on the other side don't
Look back the road is long, the first days of the war are gone
Take back your former throne and turn the tide

'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown
Till you keep your eyes... open my love

So tell me you're strong, tell me you see
I need to hear it, can you promise me
To keep your eyes... open my love

Just past the circumstance, the first light a second chance
No child could ever dance the way you do oh
Tear down the prison walls, don't stop the burden calls
Your chains will never fall until you do

'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown
Till you keep your eyes... open my love

So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I'll never let you fall apart
If you keep your eyes... open my love

Ohhh open up
Ohhh open up
Ohhh open up your eyes, the way is unbroken

Ohhh open up
Ohhh open up
Ohhh open up your eyes (keep your eyes open)

Don't let the night become the day
Don't take the darkness to the grave
I know pain is just a place
The will has been broken

Don't let the fear become the hate
Don't take the sadness to the grave
I know the fight is on the way
When the sides have been chosen

'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown
Open up your eyes, keep your eyes open

So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I'll never let you fall apart
If you keep your eyes... open my love
Keep your eyes... (keep your eyes open)
