Everybody has wisdom everyone understands Food when we are hungry The touch of loving hands No-one is anyone's property No-one should be a slave The joining of hearts in free will Begins a tidal wave
Don't hold back Don't think that hope is pointless Love is a love is a love is a love is an open door Don't believe That life is closed against us Love is a love is a love is a love is An open door
And it doesn't make any difference The colour of anyone's skin We need the rejection of prejudice Let peace come flooding in Jealousy is just a parasite hatred is disease Respect for human dignity Become skittering wind blown leaves
Don't hold back Don't think that hope is pointless Love is a love is a love is a love is an open door Don't believe That life is closed against us Love is a love is a love is a love is An open door
The time is surely coming when we could all be free When eyes for so long blinded In opening shall see That children may grow happily Safe in the love of all The earth a fertile garden where no-body need crawl
Don't hold back Don't think that hope is pointless Love is a love is a love is a love is an open door Don't believe That life is closed against us Love is a love is a love is a love is An open door
And if it seems that your hoping heart Has led you into pain Take a tip from the Carpenter Forgive and love again and again
