Open Your Heart
Crush 40 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thunder, rain and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds, floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?

All the steps we take
All the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we?
What can we do?

You and I are the same in the way that
We have our own styles and we won't change
Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not
There is no way I can lose

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright

Ancient cities blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger

I don't know why you got me
But you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see

If it won't stop
There will be no future for us
It's hearts tied down by
All the hate, gotta set it free

I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Gotta open your heart dude!

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright





Open your heart
