Open Your Heart
Madonna - www.music.pbtone.com Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lesson in itself
But each day I find it so much harder
Believe in what you feel inside
'cause there's no wrong and there's no right
Everyday I find it so much harder
What do you see when you close your eyes
Maybe it's time you opened up your mind
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
So many times I've tried to find
A reason to this life
But every day I find it so much harder
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your mind
How can I leave my past behind
How do I live the days gone by
Maybe it's time I opened up my mind
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your eyes
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Open your mind
Open your mind
Open your mind
Yeah
The lyrics to Madonna's Open Your Heart address the universal search for meaning and purpose in life.

Madonna suggests that opening one's mind and seeing things from a new perspective could lead to greater personal growth and understanding.
The repetition of the lines "What do you see when you close your eyes / How do you feel when you sleep at night / Maybe it's time you opened up your mind" emphasizes the importance of introspection and reflection. The lyrics suggest that self-discovery is the key to living a fulfilling life. Madonna encourages listeners to leave their past behind and focus on the present moment. In the end, the message of the song is clear - open your mind, allow new experiences to come in, and find your own path.
