Open The Door

Was alone then along came Mary 

Hair of gold and lips like cherries 

Was amazed when she stole my thunder 

Filled my world with the ways of wonder 



Come away come away with me

Far away where the eyes can't see

Come away to another time

Pardon if you lose your mind 



Who are you now?

Who makes the rules?

Follow your heart and get back....

Won't you get back.... 

Oh get back 



Was alone then along came Mary 

Hair of gold and lips like cherries 

Was amazed when she stole my thunder 

Filled my world with the ways of wonder 



Come away come away with me

Far away where the eyes can't see

Come away to another time

Pardon if you lose your mind

Pardon if you lose your mind

Pardon if you lose your mind-if you lose your mind

The more I look, more I see 

The more that life asks of me 

The more it hurts, the more I feel 

The more it takes time to heal 



For easy times they come and they go

Come and they go so quickly

And peace of mind is so hard to know

It's something to keep me striving



The more I learn the less I know

So little time, so far to go

When your heart's getting burned

As you weep, so you learn



For easy times they come and they go

Come and they go so swiftly

And peace of mind is so hard to know

It's something to keep me striving



The more it hurts, the more you feel 

The more it takes the time to heal 

The more you look, the more you see 

The more these things were meant to be 



For easy times they come and they go

Come and they go so quickly

And peace of mind is so hard to know

It's something that keeps me smiling

    

The more I look, the more I see

The more that life gives to me.

Well there's crying in the kitchen

And there's fighting on the street

And there's cocaine in the schoolyard

Yet my heart don't miss a beat

I can't let go, oh I can't let go



And the preacher's on the telly

And he's handing me the phone

Got an ulcer in his belly

And a torment in his soul

He can't let go, no he can't let go



Everybody wants a contri-bution

Telling me they've got the t so-lution

No-one wants the carrousel to slowdown

Seems to me we're heading for a showdown



And there's poison in the water

And there's holes up in the sky

And the children keep on asking

Is the planet going to die?

We must let go - we must let go



Got to get fired - it's going to get hot

We've got to take it higher

Give it everything we got

Oh Oh   you never know 

Way to go



Everybody's talking revolution

Politicians offer no solution

No-one seems to want to face the lowdown

Seems to me we're heading for a showdown

This morning when I woke up 

I fixed myself a drink 

I was feeling kind of broke up 

My mind was on the blink  



I couldn't see a future

Can't seem to hold a job

I feel I'm just a loser

Oh when's it gonna stop



I said By, say you'll always get to hold me

Say we'll never go hungry

Never run out of money

You say we'll  just have to hold on

Maybe life is just a put on

Won't you come and just hold me

Say I'll never get lonely



Some mornings when I wake up 

I just don't know who I am 

If I look behind the make-up 

I see a troubled man 



I wander in the darkness

Just talking to the walls

Seems life has turned against me

Who'll catch me if I fall



I said By, say you'll always want to hold me

Say we'll never go hungry

Never run out of money

Give me something to hold on

Tell me life is just a put on

Won't you come and just hold me

Say I'll never get lonely



I said By, say you'll always want to hold me 

Say we'll never go hungry

Never run out of money

Give me something to hold on

Tell me life is just a put on

Won't you come and just hold me

Say I'll never get lonely

Walk around the garden

Choking at the weeds

Won't you come and help me

Try and sow some seeds



All the trees are weeping,

Branches hanging low

Seems as if they know that

They haven't long to go



All the world's a funfair

Hide behind your mask

Say that you're enjoying it

If anybody ask



Don't believe in sinners,

Don't believe in sin

Love is all the answers

So why don't we begin



Taking up the story that Jesus told

It's older than the years    

All the seeds he planted have blossomed

Into concrete walls of fear



Lying in the gutter,

Gazing at the stars

Like to send a letter

To the men on Mars



Asking if they'd help us,

Help us if they cold

Come and weed this garden

Or do you think they should?

Hey what would you do

Caught between Death, Death and a zoo?

What if your world was stuck in cage-

Would you feel rage boy?

Caught in a crossfire

Stung by the cold wire

Would it feel lonely?



Hey what would you give

So that your heart in freedom could live?

What if your love was stuck in a cage

Hey don't you feel rage boy?

Caught in a landslide

Where does the child hide?

Oh does he feel lonely?



So cold on the inside

Where does the Sun hide?

Oh don't it feel lonely? lonely 



Caught in a man's dream

Silent the heart scream

Don't it feel lonely?

Love, love is a thousand times

Stronger than me, stronger than you

Well if you want to be a soldier

o marching off to war

You think you're going to be a hero

But we've heard it all before, boy



Love, love is a thousand times

Dearer than me, dearer than you

Well if you want to be a leader,

Then go and lead the way

You're never going to give us freedom

-no matter what you say, boy 

-I said it'd better come soon... 



La-La-La



'Cause love-love is the way

If only we all could hear,

It just seems so clear

I just can't believe

-watching the world what am I seeing?

But I know there's a way

-oh there must be a way

Oh there must come day

come a time when I can be free...



'Cause I want to hear her voice

Softer than me, softer than you

Whatever will it take me

To bring her smile my way

'Cause everytime I try to please her,

She loves to go in hiding



-I said she'd better come soon...

Say goodbye to the old way

Say hello to a new day

Well if you want to linger, a trail a finger

It'll only leave you wondering

Want the future might have been



Say goodbye to the old scene

Say hello to a new dream

You say you want your freedom, but is it freedom

When you leave it all behind you

But your mind just can't let go? oh no 



When the news is known and you hear those cries

Then waves of sadness will fill your eyes

You're alone as an island

Alone as a man can be 



Say goodbye to the old days

Say hello to a new ways

Well if you want to linger, trail a finger

Just remember what was told you

out the way it's going to be, you'll see..



You're alone as an island

Alone as a man must be



Say goodbye to the old way

Say hello to a new day

Well if you want your freedom

Oh where's your freedom?

On the road that lies before you

That is all you need to know, let go...

Who's to say, who's to know 

Where the ship is going to blow 

Taking time beneath the trees 

State of mind, state of ease 

  

Easy come, easy go 

What a life, what a show, 

Caught in old familiar ways 

Has our love gone astray?... 

Gone away?...gone away?... 

  

Open the door ... Open the door 

Open the door, I want to be with you 

Open the door, I want to play with you 

  

Do what you want to, be who you want to be 

'Cause I don't care what you say 

or what you do to me 

I'm having trouble going a whole day without you 

Don't want to live if it's a lifetime without you 

Come on give me some sing I can see 

Come on give me now, show me something 

  

Open the door, I want to be with you 

Open the door, I want to play with you 

Open the door, I want to dream with you 

Open the door, I want to stay with you now... 



Right, right on, easy come, easy come 

-easy go-easy come 

And I know, yes I know 

that I'm wanting the world to be one 

But we take as we please and we can't see the wood for the trees 

But I know, yes I know when I open the door I'll Be home 

I want to go home, I want to go home... 

  

Right, right on, easy come, 

Easy come-easy go-easy come 

And I know, yes I know 

That I'm wanting theworld to be one 

But we take as we please 

And we can't see 

The wood for the trees 

But I know, yes I know 

When I open the door I'll be free 

I want to go free, I want to go home... 

  

Open the door, I want to be with you 

Open the door, I want to play with you 

Open the door, I want to dream with you 

Open the door, I want to stay with you now... 

  

Do what you want to, be who you want to be 

Cause I don't care what you say or what you do to me 

I'm having trouble going a whole day without you 

Don't want to live if it's a lifetime without you 

Come on give me some sing I can see 

Come on give me now, show me something 



Who's to say, who's to now...

For every man who has a dream 

There's a light that's rarely seen 

Within a world where all is greed, all is lies 

  

For every child who lies awake 

And hopes that dawn will never break 

Tobe alone, to be afraid but never cry 

  

Where is the love, where is the fire 

We used to share, we used to live 

Where is the hope, where is the flame 

We used to feel, we used to give 

Where is the man who says 

He never wants to dream, wants to live 

  

For every man who feels alone 

Working fingers to the bone 

I have a voice, I still yearn and I still cry 

  

It's not  the singer, it's the song 

Strikes the chord in everyone 

And makes us dance, makes us sing, 

Makes us fly 

  

Where is the love, where is the fire 

We used to share, we used to live 

Where is the hope, where is the flame 

We used to feel, we used to give 

Were is the man who says 

He never wants to dream, wants to live 



Where is the love, ...



For every man
