SUMMARY
The song tells of a man captivated by “Joy,” a figure who represents truth, light, and revelation. The singer longs for Joy to open his eyes, free him from blindness and sorrow, and show him a new way of living. Blending wonder, desperation, and a touch of irony, the lyrics capture the yearning for transformation, clarity, and freedom—while hinting at the high personal cost of chasing enlightenment.

Open my eyes, Joy
Don’t tell me lies, Joy
Open my eyes to the truth
Tell me that you can see it
I really wanna believe it
Open my eyes, Joy
Show me the light, Joy
I wanna see what you see
Tell me how I can feel it
I really wanna believe it
I sit here in wonder
Watching what you do
How you do your magic
I ain’t got a clou
I sit here in wonder
Watching you with glee
Tearing down the curtains
I was blind, now I see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Open my eyes, Joy
Show me the light, Joy
Take me to the river tonight
Drown my sins and my sorrows
Show me a brand new tomorrow
Open my eyes, Joy
Name me your price, Joy
I wanna know what you know
Take my hand and release me
Break my shackles and FREE ME!
I sit here in wonder
Staring into space
Grinning like a looney
Tears upon my face
The clouds around my brains have
Finally blown away
What a revelation!
For only 5 grand a day!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
[Solo]
Open my eyes, Joy
Don’t tell me lies, Joy
Open my eyes to the truth
Tell me that you can see it
You really got me believe it
Open my eyes, Joy
Show me the light, Joy
I wanna see what you see
Tell me how I can feel it
I really wanna believe it
Yeah, yeah!
Open my eyes, Joy
Yeah
Don’t tell me lies, Joy
No
Open my eyes, Joy
Yeah
Don’t tell me lies, Joy
No
Don’t tell me lies!
