Hope Is An Open Window - Diana Ross, Christopher Ward, Tim Tickner

Are we not more than harlequins and horns

Are we not more than color and drums

Are we not more than anger and dance

Give me courage so I can spread it over my face and mouth

Give me courage, give me courage

Give me courage, give me courage

I walk these city streets see the people there

Look into the eyes of quiet despair

And the faces tell a story that words never can

And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand

Out of kindness

One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place

Hope is an open window

Love an open door

To reach out for each other

Is what we came here for

Through an open window

We can see the way

If we hold on to each other, every day

We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears

Tell ourselves we’ll be safe in here

I know more brings us together

Than keeps up apart

First we got to tear down these walls within our hearts

We might be strangers, we can be friends

You and I we both need to let somebody in

Hope is an open window

Love an open door

To reach out for each other

Is what we came here for

Through an open window

We can see the way

If we hold on to each other, every day

Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth

We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests

Come awake in our thunder so that our eyes can see behind trees

Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth

Give me courage, give me courage

Give me courage, give me courage

Hope is an open window

Love’s an open door

To reach out for each other

Is what we came here for

Through an open window

We can see the way

If we hold on to each other, every day

Hope is an open window

Love an open door

Gotta be there for each other

Is what we sent here for

Through an open window

We can find a way

To love one another

Hope is an open window

Love an open door
