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, compa**ion That snake is bound to bite ya Wisdom, compa**ion That snake is bound to bite ya Wisdom, compa**ion That snake is bound to bite ya Wisdom, compa**ion That snake is bound to bite ya
