When you're feeling down, Does the rain fall heavy all around, Flashing through the storm. [Chorus] Open up your ears, open up your eyes, Open up your mind, take your body by surprise, by surprise. Put your mind at ease, Get out, get in, Yeah, it's all agreed. [Chorus] Think about today, Not about the past, Open up your head. [Chorus] Think about today, Not about the past, Open up your head, Yeah, the thoughts come fast. [Chorus]
