Open your heart

And when it hurts you know
They love to tell you
How they warned you
They say 'don't be surprised at someone's lies'
They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better
Than their best.

And so you stand here
With the years ahead
Potentially calling
With open heart
Or with a spirit dead
You walk on

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing try revealing
Open your heart

Being an island
shying from trying
Seems the easy way
But there's no future
Without tears

Lyrics by Philip Oakey

Well, well, well I do believe Phil's done it again,
Just look at this.

They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better
Than their best.

Simply a unique way of telling you to have faith in yourself,
to think YOUR good enough for the world to see.

Being an island
shying from trying
Seems the easy way
But there's no future
Without tears



Is it truly better to survive, than to live, THAT is a
very good question.....I believe Phil is right though, there
is NO future without the tears, there is NO love without
the pain.
