Open Your Mind

Closed, like a coffee shop no one likes
Closed, like an angry fist in a fight
Closed, like a door that's just been slammed
Like your narrow-minded plans
Closed, like a theme park with rusted rides
Old, broken, way behind the times
Closed, like your poisoned apple smile
In your world of black and white
Open your mind, wide as the sky, let it fly,
Come as you are, it's alright
You could love your neighbour as yourself
Or waste life blaming someone else forever
Closed, like a child's eyes when she's afraid
Closed, like a heart that will not change
Closed, like the borders of your love
When you're scared there's not enough
Open your mind, wide as the sky, let it fly,
Come as you are, it's alright
You could love your neighbour as yourself
Or waste life blaming someone else forever
I'm sending invitations, everyone around
It's a celebration, won't leave anybody out
I'm throwing a party instead of throwing stones
When we disagree, you teach me something I don't know, no no
No, no no
Open your mind, wide as the sky, let it fly,
Come as you are, it's alright
You could love your neighbour as yourself
Or waste life blaming someone else
Open your mind, wide as the sky, let it fly,
Come as you are, it's alright
You could love your neighbour as yourself
Or waste life blaming someone else forever, oh
