Open Up My Heart

I'm gonna open up my heart

To the world this morning

See if I can help a friend

I'm gonna pull back the shades

Of my fear this morning (mm, mm)

And let the light of the world come in

Ever how much I'm down

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go another round

Try to bring somebody happiness

As I look about me, I can see

All the blessings given to me

A baby boy

A woman who loves me

Oh, yeah

I'm gonna open up, open up my heart this morning

And see if I can help a friend

I'm gonna give all my heart, make a new start

In the world this morning

See if I can help a friend

If they scorn me today

Turn me away

No matter what they say

(And still, I'm gonna be just a friend)

I'm gonna try it once more

Knock on every door

Of the world this morning

See if I can be a friend

(Right on, brother)

(Right on, brother)

I'm gonna give, give up my heart

I gotta make, I gotta make a new start

In the world this morning, oh

If they scorn me today, turn me away

No matter what they say

(And still, I'm gonna be her friend)

Oh, I'm gonna try it, try it once more

I gotta knock on each and every door

I gotta see if, I gotta see if I can be a friend

I gotta say it one more time

I'm gonna give it all my heart

I gotta make me a new start

In the world this morning

I gotta see, can I help a friend?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hmm-mm

Hmm-mm, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hmm-mm

Hmm-mm, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hmm-mm

Oh, if they scorn me, scorn me today

Don't you dare turn me away

(And still, I'm gonna be just a friend)

Oh, I'm gonna try it once more

I gotta knock on each and every door

Of the world this morning

I gotta see, I gotta see if I can be a friend

Everybody, sing with me

I'm gotta give it all my heart

You know we gotta make a new start

In the world this morning

I'm gonna find me, I'm gonna find me a friend, oh

Scorn, scorn me today

They cannot, they can't turn me away

(And still, I'm gonna be just a friend)

I wanna be your friend

I wanna be your friend

I gotta try just one more

You know I gotta knock on each and every door

I wanna see if I can be your friend

I wanna help somebody

I wanna help everybody

I gotta give up my heart

I wanna make, I wanna make a new start

Oh, in the world this morning, oh
