I imagine death so much it feels like a memory, like a memory
I wrote some notes and melodies, this is my legacy
Sing it out for me
Rise up
We will wise up 
And keep our eyes up, remembering

Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
Wise up, open your eyes and you'll
Eyes up, open your eyes and you'll
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll

I planted seeds in a beautiful garden
That I will never see
They'll become tall trees
I left some loving fantasies, this is my legacy
Dream it all for me

Rise up, we will wise up 
And keep our eyes up, remembering

Rise up, open your eyes and you'll
Wise up, open your eyes and you'll
Eyes up, open your eyes and you'll
Rise up, open your eyes and you'll

Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll
