Hope is an Open Window

Are we not more than hunger and music?
Are we not more than harlequins and horns?
Are we not more than color and drums?
Are we not more than anger and dance?

Give me courage
So I can spread it over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage

I walk these city streets, see the people there
Look into the eyes of quiet despair
And the faces tell a story that words never can
And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand

Out of kindness
One act of grace
Makes the world we walk
A better place

Hope is an open window, love an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears
Tell ourselves, we'll be safe in here
I know more brings us together, than keeps up apart
First we got to tear down these walls, within our hearts

We might be strangers
We can be friends
You and I we both need
To let somebody in

Hope is an open window, love an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

Give me courage
So I can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awake in our thunder
So that our eyes can see behind trees

Give me courage
So I can spread over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage

Hope is an open window, love's an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

Hope is an open window, love an open door
Gotta be there for each other, is what we sent here for
Through an open window, we can find a way
To love one another, everyday

Hope is an open window, love an open door
