Lori Mechem: Music
Open Your Heart
I believe when we wrote this tune that there was a lot of turmoil in the world happening. The Rodney King incident had just happened and so many people were outraged that this song came out pretty easy. Now.... it seems we need this more than ever. Our country needs help, but other countries need our help too. Take a listen and let us know what you think. I think these lyrics say it all!!
OPEN YOUR HEART (DON'T BE AFRAID) © Lori Mechem, Jet Penix & Tabitha Fair VERSE 1 Here we are in this time and place In a world full of fear and hate Seldom do we get a chance to see a smile Anger's what we see on the face of a child CHORUS Look in your heart to see a place Where we can live as one human race (1st X) Is it possible (2nd X) I know it's not impossible (3rd & 4th X) I know it's possible Just open your heart, don't be afraid VERSE 2 Tell me what's the reason we are here Don't you know that love has the power to heal All the broken hearts, broken minds and broken dreams We all have the power, can't you see there's a need CHORUS BRIDGE Can we love each other, can we try to find a way It's not impossible, just start giving today So let's open our hearts, try to find that special place I wanna tell you we can make it happen, if we're not afraid REPEAT CHORUS
