Eyes Wide Open
P.J. Cook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the world Come outside and play
Discovery of life, laughing all the way
Your eyes wide open to the day
See the world in a different way
No prejudice or hatred, only openness to being loved
Welcome to the day, it's all gonna be OK

Things that make you wonder, wide awake
Hope that keeps us going, brings us grace

Eyes Wide Open truth and faith
Eyes Wide Open. It's going to be alright

Welcome to our fate, smile child it's not too late
Carry all the weight of the human race
Reaching for a shooting star
Reminding us, who we are
The purity in your smile, no fear, or judgment.
only love
Child of a brand new day, hope is on the way

Things that make us wonder, are we awake
Faith that keeps us going, Hope that makes us stronger
Love that makes us ponder brings us grace

Eyes Wide Open a brand new day
Eyes Wide Open amazing grace
Eyes Wide Open show us the way
Eyes Wide Open. It's gonna be alright
You're going to be OK.






We're going to be alright

Gordon revisits and Anthony is in front of house and Frank in the kitchen. He has the chef jacket on and his seat is back in the kitchen but only for before and after service. Gordon is served a variety of dishes, he loves them and thinks they are delicious.

The brothers are getting along a lot better and business is up 15%. Gordon has a surprise for them, a hockey player from the Boston Bruins who gives them a Jersey.

Reviews after filming were mixed, Yelp reviews were mostly 1 or 2 star whereas Urban Spoon and Zagat reviews were very positive.

Davide closed in May 2014 after being sold in January 2014, as the owners wanted to start a farming venture and Boston food tours. They posted the below on Facebook in May 2014,

Today is the day we say goodbye to Davide Restaurant. We would like to say thank you to all of the customers, family and employees who came through our doors all those years.

Life has a new direction for us and we have now begun Three Boys Farm. We are getting to the root of the industry and growing the product that makes all those dishes possible!!!

Unlike most of the other wives in these episodes, you'll notice Frank's wife never said "the marriage won't survive if the business doesn't". Gotta love that.

John Cena

@Perry Ross Why should a wife stick around for some idiot who financially ruins her? Fuck that neanderthal caveman thinking.

Perry Ross

@Luna Legacy its going to be hilarious when you are 45 and no one but 5 cats to keep you company then you will be shouting "where are all the good men". I will laugh and laugh.

Perry Ross

@Alexander Christopher it's no where near the most cited cause of divorce. You are either lying or been lied to. 90% of divorces are initiated by women and the main cited cause is "I'm just not happy anymore".

Perry Ross

That's how a wife should be. Way to many women today can only care and stick around when it's convenient for them.

John Cena

Why should they stick around in a bad marriage to some idiot who puts their pipe dreams above their families welfare.

Frank is the most honest chef with his profession I have seen in the entire Kitchen Nightmares' series. By rejecting to wear the chef's coat, as he knew he isn't doing justice to it ,that shows utmost sincerity towards his profession. TRULY COMMENDABLE👍

jesse j sevilla

I rather wear coat than to wear some tacky hats thy wear

Chancylvania

@Rohit Gaikwad what the actual fck

Yvonne

Bleh. Frank should have quit or hired another head chef.
