Lyrics

Someone somewhere sometime ago His eyes were clear to see He put his thoughts into my mind And gave myself to me He stopped me from living so unsane I can be just what I want to be Things appear as they really are I can see just what I want to see Come on and let it happen to you Come on and let it happen to you You've got to open up your mind And let everything come through Oh well, it starts like a roller coaster ride So real it takes your breath away It slides you through your point of view You look back to where you thought you'd stay Your ride the changes outside you While inside you're like a neon ray And you find out you don't have to search for words For there's nothing you need to say Come on and let it happen to you Come on and let it happen to you You've got to open up your mind And let everything come through After your trip life opens up You start doing what you want to do And you find out that the world you once knew Gets what it has from you No one can ever hurt you Because you know more that you thought you knew And you're looking at the world through brand new eyes And no one can ever spoil the view Come on and let it happen to you Come on and let it happen to you You've got to open up your mind And let everything come through
