Melissa Etheridge - Open Your Mind lyrics

How come there's so many people willing to suffer

So they get up and suffer every day

They think they were put on this Earth to suffer

And, by God, they're going to suffer

Until they suffer their lives away

How come so many are willing to say

There is no sense

There is no plan

Yet they will not believe

The ancient mysteries

Passed down through time into their hands

If my choice is despair or wonder

On the line between truth and belief

Do I just let the tide take me under

Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me

Open your mind

'Cause you have been blind

Imagine the answers

Or questions will be all you find

Open your mind

The grooves in my life were unforgiving

Over the years I laid them down night after night

Work-eat-sleep

Work-eat-sleep

Work-eat-sleep

Work-eat-sleep

Work-eat-sleep

Work-eat-sleep

Suffocating my delight

I was dragged into the light

Into the stillness

Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears

And when I came crashing through

Humbled and true

I was better than I've been in years

If my choice is end or beginning

In my perception between death and life

I'll keep on with this message I'm sending

We may not know how or when,

But don't you wanna know why

Open your mind

'Cause you have been blind

Imagine the answers

Or questions will be all you find

Open your mind

Open your mind

'Cause you have been blind

Open your mind
