Open Hearts

Verse 1:
We can give, we can share,
No matter who we are,
From every land, from every place,
We’re all under the same star.
Walking on the same earth,
Different faces, same sky,
The sun warms every heart,
The rivers all run by.
Verse 2:
Hate destroys, wars take all,
But kindness can remain,
Diversity is treasure,
From loss we learn, from gain.
Hands reach out, eyes wide,
Curious hearts explore,
Open minds, open doors,
There’s always something more.
Instrumental Break:
(Bass & drums build, world percussion, kalimba or kora, pads—set up for chorus)
Chorus:
Like children meeting for the first time,
Open hearts, no fear in sight,
Faces shining, eyes that wonder,
Showing us how love feels right.
Verse 3:
Earth is calling, voices clear,
Protect the trees, protect the seas,
Every step we take with care,
Can bring the world to peace.
Hate and lies can break the ground,
But love can heal and grow,
Look at children, see their way,
And let our hearts follow.
Chorus (repeat):
Like children meeting for the first time,
Open hearts, no fear in sight,
Faces shining, eyes that wonder,
Showing us how love feels right.
Bridge:
No borders, no walls,
Only curiosity,
Every laugh, every glance,
Teaches us to see.
Final Chorus:
Like children meeting for the first time,
Open hearts, no fear in sight,
Faces shining, eyes that wonder,
Showing us how love feels right.
Open hearts, open minds,
Together we can be free,
Learning from the little ones,
A better world to see.
