Hope Is an Open Window

(christopher ward/tim tickner/diana ross) 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, 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 Hope is an open window Love an open door
