Open Open Open

Open Open Open

Oh open to humanity

The heart of all

We all love you

And you love us

Yet we hijack our hearts

And celebrate the fall

So that we can have what we think we want

Instead of the love of all, to all

These patterns we repeat

In the heat of hatred, fear and separation

What is it that builds the wall

Around the hearts of each nation

Even when we know we are the same race, same species

We separate

Hate

Find reasons to be different

Your eye color

My religion

His skin color

Her hair

My beliefs that I don't even know I hold

But I act them out

A robot in slow-mo

Doing what I'm told

We are born beautiful, open, loving

My three-year-old daughter told me

She missed Jesus and the Angels so much

Couldn't wait to go home

If we could just open our hearts

We can be living our paradise on Earth, all the time

No longer alone.
