lyrics

Open
You had you share of troubles
it didn’t turn you into stone
you sparkle as you dance
along the streets that you call home
in the one dress
that they bought you
last Christmas
though you don’t believe in Jesus,
they dressed you anyway

Open, Whatever life will bring you
Open, whatever song it sings you
Open, Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you grow

You’re not waiting in the corner for a husband
or a father or a savior
or a tragedy to define you
The wind blows like a cyclone on the breath of God
kissing you til your lips don’t feel like yours

Open, Whatever life will bring you
Open, whatever song it sings you
Open, Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you grow

You don’t get caught up in what you’re not
Count the blessings that you’ve got
Feel the sweet air on your skin
You feel everything

One day you’ll be older, wiser, prettier,
You’ll know less but you’ll be more
The world will not deny you
‘Cause you’re so strong
You break walls down,
they crumble at your fingertips
doors swing wide

Open , Whatever life will bring you
Open, whatever song it sings you
Open, Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you grow
