Open Mind

this world can turn you upside down
 but it don't have to complain
 cause I know we've been through hell and back
 but we stand from just the same
 cause Ive been a thug, Ive been a thief
 Ive been a junkie on the streets
 Ive been a hippie, Ive been a punk
 and Ive done time for being real
 all those things don't make me who I am
 nooo, no I am just a man
 there's no time for livin in the past
 nooo, cause life goes by much to fast
 because its true
 the reggae music soothes my soul
 no matter where I happen to be
 because its true
 we need to open up our eyes
 for the future children, for our kind
 open hearts open minds
 Ive been around this great big world
 Ive seen things I cant explain
 I stay positive to live my life
 do what I can to keep me sane
 if you threaten us with words of hate
 its because you only hate yourself
 your confusions so full of fear
 ill love to take the other way
 cause its true
 we need to open up our eyes
 to believe in yourselves day after day
 cause its true
 we need to know there's a better way
 for the future children, for our kind
 open hearts open mind
 (solo)
 open hearts open mind
