(Geoff Mann)



Everybody has wisdom everyone understands

Food when we are hungry

The touch of loving hands

No-one is anyone's property

No-one should be a slave

The joining of hearts in free will

Begins a tidal wave



Don't hold back

Don't think that hope is pointless

Love is a love is a love is a love is

an open door

Don't believe

That life is closed against us

Love is a love is a love is a love is

An open door



And it doesn't make any difference

The colour of anyone's skin

We need the rejection of prejudice

Let peace come flooding in

Jealousy is just a parasite hatred is disease

Respect for human dignity

Become skittering wind blown leaves



Don't hold back

Don't think that hope is pointless

Love is a love is a love is a love is

an open door

Don't believe

That life is closed against us

Love is a love is a love is a love is

An open door



The time is surely coming when we could all be free

When eyes for so long blinded

In opening shall see

That children may grow happily

Safe in the love of all

The earth a fertile garden where no-body need crawl



Don't hold back

Don't think that hope is pointless

Love is a love is a love is a love is

an open door

Don't believe

That life is closed against us

Love is a love is a love is a love is

An open door



And if it seems that your hoping heart

Has led you into pain

Take a tip from the Carpenter

Forgive and love again

and again
