Open Yourself Up
Nobody's come knocking in a long, long time
Can't understand it and you worry all the time
You'll end up alone, you think you just might
The problem is apparent, it's a simple remedy
You might be locked but you've always got the key
So knock that rust off the thoughts in your mind
Swing those hinges, let the world inside
Open yourself up
You can never get enough
Of the sunshine streamin' in
So open yourself on up my friend
There is no reason to be feelin' so tense
Walkin' all around this town with both hands clenched
You say that I'm naïve but I'll speak in my defense
You'll never make a friend with your hands in a fist
So don't hold on so to the weight on your soul
Loosen that grip and let it all go
Take this step and you will understand
Greet everybody with an open hand
Open yourself up
You can never get enough
Of the sunshine streamin' in
So open yourself on up my friend
Open yourself up
You can never get enough
Of the sunshine streamin' in
So open yourself on up my friend
I say You and me could be, we could be singing harmony
Do you think that you'd agree, could you see it through
To open up your view
I'll be right here when you do
If you have been listening you will know just what this is about
You've got so much inside, don't keep everybody out
I'm standing right here so I'll say it once again
Open on up and let the people in
Open yourself up
You can never get enough
Of the sunshine streamin' in
So open yourself on up my friend
Open yourself up
You can never get enough
Don't just take it from me
I asked all the people and they agree
They say open yourself up
All you gotta do
I say all you gotta do
