Open My Soul Up

I hope you're filling the heavens in the sky above our heads
With the sound of your guitar until forever ends
I feel my pounding heart sending all these messages
I hope you're playing those six strings, winning Emmy's
Feeling ready I don't do steady, I'm feeling ready to
Open my soul up, open my soul up
Open my soul up, please, open my soul, open, open my soul
I heed warnings and I keep going despite what everybody keeps warning
About the path that I've chosen over the past year I've been coding, I've been holding
On to the past, I've got to move past the wrongs turns you made
I'll finish what you started, carry on our legacy of guitarists, but
I feel I could never fill your shoes, I feel I could never be as cool
I feel I could never grow into the space you played, you jammed and grooved
I hear that god has taken you, I hear how life had been for you
I steer my life accordingly, I try to be what you could not be but
Oh, I know there's not much I can do
Oh, I know there's no way to speak to you
Cause there's no reaching you even if I really wanted to
Tell you about all that I can do with my music
And I'm proud of what you've done with implicit
So now I'm stuck here on Earth learning how
To open my soul up, open my soul up
Open my soul up, please, open my soul, open, open my soul, yeah
Though I'm never gonna see you again, I'll make it
And I'll never stop until I get to the top of the mountain
I can't keep living on like this I'd trade my life for you
You're the reason that I'm singing and playing all of the shows
The reason that I'm breathing and going for the gold
I will never give in to the pressures you did and that's how I'll carry you
