lyrics

If it leads oh, it must bleed oh
Come tomorrow we’ll be heads down in our sheets
They got answers to curing cancer
Then I’m listening otherwise I’m gonna speak

It’s your open heart
It’s your open mind
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating alright
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating

When tomorrow breaks your heart oh
Take your breath oh, and get back on your feet
It’s alright it’s not your fault when you need help
And you gotta ask for it

It’s your open heart
It’s your open mind
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating alright
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating alright
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating

Come tomorrow when you lead oh
Do the right thing, they’ll be dancing in the street
For the new way to be boldened
We must be the very kindness that we seek

It’s your open heart
It’s your open mind
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating alright
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating alright
Keeps the heart beating alright, keeps the heart beating
