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
