Open Up Your Heart
I’ll catch you before you run away
Open up the corridor of my mind’s eyes
Gottah wake up…
Gottah wake up
Gottah wake up and sift out these lies
Don’t run away…
Don’t run away…
Don’t run away this fine day, no one says their goodbyes
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Open up your heart to me and I’ll see your significance
Open up…open up…I know it’s difficult, but it’s meant to be
To open up…open up…you’re like a house without an entrance
You’re like a locked door and I foolishly lost the key
These scars won’t heal at all,
Can’t help but be in this helpless state
The stars dim when city lights illuminate
Hold on to the bars – hold on to me, my love
I’ll try to mend your scars – I’ll fix your broken wing, my dove
Please wait for me till the dawn burns like Mars
It won’t harm us, my angel, casting miracles upon me from above
No one utters a word
No one utters a word
No one waves their goodbyes
Flee like a bird
Flee like a bird
Flee like a blue jay,
Floating approvingly in this very hour…
It seems to be nighttime, kicking in
That very absurd… but I won’t be sour
Just keep flapping those wings and let the flight begin
I’m shattered today…
By your senseless, unforeseen absence
Might as well fly away
Into the clouds, absorbing penitence
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Take heart! Take heart!
Don't be cruel-hearted
Open up your heart
Release your warmth
Embrace me with arms wide open
Arms wide open
Arms wide open
Open up your heart
Open up your heart to me and you’ll soon find your sovereignty
Open up…open up…I know it’s difficult, but it’s worth the price
To open up…open up…you’re like a giver than gives halfheartedly
You’re like a wolf in sheep’s clothing – you never take anyone’s advice
The night devours the day
The day bows down to the night
Can’t help but be overwhelmed with dismay
You’re a candle in the dark; you’re my reliable compass,
All throughout the night, you make me feel alright
Feel alright...I needed your guidance
Your guidance...to protect me from the hungry wolves,
Looking for their prey - those puny sheep
Oh! I can't see! It's pitch dark in here
My heart is racing rapidly with endless fear
But, God will bless me with his miracles in no time
Wait till great fate falls upon us...it will be so, so sublime!!
Revealing to me the right pathway beyond the abyss
Hold on to the rope of hope – hold on to me, my love
I’ll try to mend your scars as soon as possible
If I had healing powers, none of this would be impossible
