They've been turining their keys so full of need
All trying to see that sure you keep
What makes it shine, what makes it mine
But I don't care

Just come on now, open wide

There's so much love for what you'll find

But what will you find!

Know after all these years you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to winIf it was can you take me back to where it begins
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come on, open wide and let some light inLet us inLet us in
