overture
Patrick S. Brady Lyrics

It's wonderful what a smile can hide
A smile can be deceptive and hide a lot of emotions and feelings

If the teeth shine bright and it's nice and wide
A bright and wide smile can make one appear happy and positive even if it's not the case

It's so magical all you can keep inside
One can keep a lot of secrets and emotions within themselves that others may never know about

And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no
If one hides their emotions deep inside, no one can read them or understand them

So come on now, open wide, open up now
It's time for someone to open up and share their true emotions and feelings

Don't you think it's time
The time is now to break the silence and release pent up emotions

To look back at that boy on his way to school
Reflect on past experiences and emotions

Such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel hiding
The emotions hidden within oneself can feel weighty and become treasured like a precious gem

Something that one day he'll sell
The emotions or experiences that are hidden deep may someday be shared or sold out of necessity

But now if no one shows, no one tells a thing, no
If one keeps their emotions hidden, no one will ever know about them

Now after all these years you are at last opening was it
After many years, someone is finally revealing their true emotions and feelings

Worth all that war just to win
Was it worth hiding emotions and fighting with oneself to finally let them out?

So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
One can become overwhelmed and caught up in daily life, and this can lead to self-destructive behavior

Don't forget how the story begins no
It's important to remember one's past and how their story began

Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
As one reveals their true emotions, they may see the people who support them and those who do not

They've been turning their keys so full of need
People are eager to understand and support someone who is opening up emotionally

All trying to see that sure you keep
Others may try to understand what someone is truly feeling in order to support them

What makes it shine, what makes it mine
Others may try to help someone understand what gives them purpose and makes them unique

But I don't care, no
Someone may choose not to care what others think or feel, and just focus on their own emotions

There's so much love for what you'll find
There is a lot of support and encouragement for someone's emotional journey towards self-discovery

But what will you find
As someone opens up, it's unclear what they may find and discover about themselves

If it was can you take me back to where it begins
If someone finds the journey towards self-discovery valuable, they may want to go back to when it all started

Come and take me back to where it begins
The person wants to go back to how it all started and reflect on their journey towards self-discovery

Come on, open wide and let some light in
Someone is encouraged to open up and allow their emotions to be seen and felt by others

Let us in
Others want to support and understand someone who is trying to reveal their true emotions
