"Open Your Heart" (Republished - Error knocked it back to Draft status)

"Open Your Heart"
She searches for love
like a locust looks for Jesus
and she talks about taking
but it's to do as she pleases.
There's not a place to hide
when the lady comes to town
and you bet your sweet ass
she's going to take you down.

Love is what you give
not what you take away
There's nothing in the mirror
that lasts more than a day.
Fly through the glass
there's really nothing there
at night you'll wake up screaming
when you find that no-one cares.

Open your heart
and show what's really you
Open your life
it's the only thing to do.

The magic is the giving
it's the light that shines for all
it's the finest kind of living
and through it we grow tall.
It really doesn't matter
the things we take away
as nothing lasts forever
except the things we say.

Live in light and love
there's nothing in the dark
except pain from your past
that always hurts your heart
Live in light and love
as one begets the other
Without them in your life
you're a boat without a rudder.


Open your heart
and show what's really you
Open your life
it's the only thing to do.
