Hope Is an Open Window

Are we not more than hunger and music?

Are we not more than harlequins and horns?

Are we not more than color and drums?

Are we not more than anger and dance?

Give me courage so I can spread it over my face and mouth

Give me courage, give me courage

Give me courage, give me courage

I walk these city streets, see the people there

Look into the eyes of quiet despair

And the faces tell a story that words never can

And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand

Out of kindness

One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place

Hope is an open window

Love an open door

To reach out for each other

Is what we came here for

Through an open window

We can see the way

If we hold on to each other, every day

We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears

Tell ourselves we'll be safe in here

I know more brings us together

Than keeps up apart

First, we got to tear down these walls within our hearts

We might be strangers, we can be friends

You and I we both need (to let somebody in)

Let somebody in

Hope is an open window

Love an open door

To reach out for each other

Is what we came here for

Through an open window

We can see the way

If we hold on to each other, every day

Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth

We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests

Come awaken our thunder so that our eyes can see behind trees

Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth

Give me courage, give me courage

Give me courage, give me courage

(Hey)

Oh, hope is an open window

(Hope, hope is an open window)

Love's an open door

(Love's an open door)

To reach out for each other

(Reach out)

Is what we came here for

(What we came here for)

Through an open window

(Through an open window)

We can see the way

(See the way)

If we hold on to each other (Hold on), every day

(Every day)

Hope is an open window (Every day)

Love, an open door

Gotta be there for each other (Be there)

Is what we're sent here for

(Be there is what we're sent here for)

Through an open window

(Through an open window)

We can find a way (Find a way)

To love one another (Gotta love one another)

Every night and day (Ooh)

Hope is an open window

Love, an open door
