"Open Mind"
by Chris De Guzman
(verse 1)
standing on a mountain
watching the sun set
memories flash back
thoughts I wanna forget
the world around me
doesnt notice nor care
I wish it didnt hurt so much
but life is never fair
you people always judge
always argue and debate
you don't know love
all you know is to hate
you only take shortcuts
patience is what you lack
be wise of your decisions
cause' there's no turning back
(chorus)
open your eyes
and face the truth
stop the corruption
stop poisoning the youth
listen to what I'm saying
it takes more than just being kind
before you learn to love
you need to have an open mind
(verse 2)
look at what you've done
do you see the pain?
you can't, it's bottled up
you can't see my tears in the rain
you take the happiness
you leave me the sorrow
when I sleep I never wanna wake up
I just wish there wasn't a tomorrow
I try to live by truth
you chose to live by a lie
you got what you want
yet, I'm labeled the bad guy
sometimes the pain is too much
I'm punching holes in the walls
but I'll fight hate with love
I'll fight til' hate falls
(chorus)
open your eyes
and face the truth
stop the corruption
stop poisoning the youth
listen to what I'm saying
it takes more than just being kind
before you learn to love
you need to have an open mind
(final verse)
too selfish to give love
too busy to have time
you never even think
can't even match a rhyme
you fight fire with fire
you use hate where love should be
look at the pain it causes others
look at what it did to me
as I watch the sun set
I know the it will rise again
when love finally dawns on our world
that's when I'll say "amen"
we can find peace and love
if we keep hate confined
let us begin a new day
with an open mind...
