So you turn another year
Talkin' about crucifying
You've been saving all your fear
Wanna put it on a fire
Let it burn to the sky, fly away
Like little birds flying to the sun
Boy unconscious due
New york to carolina
You've been doing what you're doing
Would you wanna get higher
Let your heart grow and open your arms
Like the rays of the sun
Nothing gonna hurt you, open your arms
Nothing gonna hurt you, be a fool
Nothing gonna hurt you
Step back, step back
What you're sayings not truth
It's a cruel world
And it will hurt you
It will tear you down
And steal everything you ever try to do
I know that voice too
Too well it's true
And that's what people do
What are you gonna do?
You gonna live in fear
You gon' stand up and sing you're true
Yeah
Open your arms, yeah it's gonna hurt you
Open your arms, be a fool
Open your arms...
Open your arms, yeah it's gonna hurt you
Open your arms, be a fool
Open your arms
Wisdom, compassion
That snake is bound to bite ya
Wisdom, compassion
That snake is bound to bite ya
Wisdom, compassion
That snake is bound to bite ya
Wisdom, compassion
That snake is bound to bite ya
