Hope is an Open Window

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Out of kindness
One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
We might be strangers, we can be friends
You and I we both need (to let somebody in)
Let somebody in

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awaken 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
(Hey)

[Chorus]
Oh, hope is an open window
(Hope, hope is an open window)
Love's an open door
(Love's an open door)
To reach out for each other
(Reach out)
Is what we came here for
(What we came here for)
Through an open window
(Through an open window)
We can see the way
(See the way)
If we hold on to each other (Hold on), every day
(Every day)

[Outro]
Hope is an open window (Every day)
Love, an open door
Gotta be there for each other (Be there)
Is what we're sent here for
(Be there is what we're sent here for)
Through an open window
(Through an open window)
We can find a way (Find a way)
To love one another (Gotta love one another)
Every night and day (Ooh)
Hope is an open window
Love, an open door
