This song was written after a conversation with a client. His desire for an open heart inspired and challenged me. May we all follow his lead and grasp the profound truth that opening our hearts is the beginning of all good change.
OPEN YOUR HEART
by Reb Buxton
Like a bankrupt business/In a dying part of town
Your heart is locked up/And the shades drawn down
No one comes in/And you never go out
The light in your eyes/Has been gone for a while
Hard days are easy/But the easy ones hard
Cant find any peace/In this junkyard
And the pain took more/Than it ever gave back
Why don’t you open the door/Even just a little crack
Ya missing so much/And we miss you
Why don’t you open up your heart/You’ve got some work to do
Now you went to therapy/And made your amends
You said you were sorry/To your family and your friends
Now you are the one/Who can see the darkened eyes
Of those who are scared/And running from the light
(Now you tell them) Ya missing so much /And we miss you
Why don’t you open up your heart/You’ve got some work to do
