How come there's so many people willing to suffer
|
So they get up and suffer every day
|
They think they were put on this Earth to suffer
|
And, by God, they're going to suffer
|
Until they suffer their lives away
|
|
How come so many are willing to say
|
There is no sense
|
There is no plan
|
Yet they will not believe
|
The ancient mysteries
|
Passed down through time into their hands
|
|
If my choice is despair or wonder
|
On the line between truth and belief
|
Do I just let the tide take me under
|
Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Open your mind
|
'Cause you have been blind
|
Imagine the answers
|
Or questions will be all you find
|
Open your mind
|
|
The grooves in my life were unforgiving
|
Over the years I laid them down night after night
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Work-eat-sleep
|
Suffocating my delight
|
I was dragged into the light
|
Into the stillness
|
Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears
|
And when I came crashing through
|
Humbled and true
|
I was better than I've been in years
|
|
If my choice is end or beginning
|
In my perception between death and life
|
I'll keep on with this message I'm sending
|
We may not know how or when,
|
But don't you wanna know why
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Open your mind
|
'Cause you have been blind
|
|
Open your mind
|
|

Open Your Mind
