Well it's high time you realize

that I must live my life as it surrounds me

I can give you all the room you need to be yourself as I am

in the same key

We can live our lives together, yes, and still remain

ourselves if we believe

And I believe, oh, oh darlin'.



Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.

Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind

Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.

Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.

Gotta keep open.



I've given you my heart, I give my soul

I give you everything I have

Yes, and just as there's a special part of you

that's yours alone

To keep, I'm glad there is so much we can do together

And I believe, oh, oh darlin'.



Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.

Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind

Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.

Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.

Gotta keep open.



I was looking for love, I was losing my mind.

I was searching for someone to care.

I was fighting my feelings to turn and to run.

And I looked in your heart.

And I saw there was somebody there.



So I'm sitting on the river in your city

and I'm writing out these words

And I hope that you will listen to my song

`cos it is mine and now it's yours

I'm the master of my fate and the captain of my soul

and I believe

yes, I believe, oh, oh darlin'.



Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.

Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind

Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.

Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.

Gotta keep open.
