lyrics

Sometimes a hand is just a hand
Sometimes a man is just a man
Sometimes what’s running through our veins
Is the same color when it rains
Cut us open, we all bleed just the same

But you know hope, it’s never lost, it’s just hard to find
And you know love sometimes burns a lot, but that fire keeps us alive

So won’t you open up your heart
Until there’s space inside your chest
And won’t you open up your lungs
Until they’re burning with your breath
Just take it all in and let it all go
Love more, kept faith, have hope
Even when it hurts the most

Sometimes a gun is just a gun
Until you point it at someone
Sometimes one bullet makes a shot
One straight line rips us apart
‘Cause we’re all on this earth until we’re not

But you know hope, it’s never lost, it’s just hard to find
And every wound turns into a scar if you give it time

So won’t you open up your heart
Until there’s space inside your chest
And won’t you open up your lungs
Until they’re burning with your breath
Just take it all in and let it all go
Love more, kept faith, have hope
Even when it hurts the most

Sometimes war is just the violent beating of a heart
Pounding at the fences that are tearing us apart
Lay your weapons down, and armor is just open arms
A fist is just a greeting flagged
So unfurl those fingers and…

Sometimes a hand is just a hand
Sometimes a man is just a man
Sometimes the color of our skins is just some pigments gathering
And who we love isn’t a statement, an attack, or an agenda
Just someone who makes us feel human

So won’t you open up your heart
Until there’s space inside your chest
And won’t you open up your lungs
Until they’re burning with your breath
Just take it all in and let it all go
Love more, kept faith, have hope
Even when it hurts the most
