Lyrics

Orlando

Sometimes a hand is just a hand Sometimes a man is just a man Sometimes what's running through our veins Is the same color when it rains Cut us open, we all bleed just the same But you know hope, it’s never lost, it's just hard to find And you know love sometimes burns a lot, but that fire keeps us alive So won't you open up your heart Until there’s space inside your chest And won't you open up your lungs Until they're burning with your breath Just take it all in and let it all go Love more, keep faith, have hope Even when it hurts the most Sometimes a gun is just a gun Until you point it at someone Sometimes one bullet makes a shot One straight line rips us apart ‘Cause we're all on this earth until until we're not But you know hope, it's never lost, it's just hard to find And every wound turns into a scar if you give it time So won't you open up your heart Until there’s space inside your chest And won’t you open up your lungs Until they're burning with your breath Just take it all in and let it all go Love more, keep faith, have hope Even when it hurts the most Sometimes war is just the violent beating of a heart Pounding at the fences that are tearing us apart Lay your weapons down, and armor is just open arms A fist is just a greeting flagged So unfurl those fingers and… Sometimes a hand is just a hand Sometimes a man is just a man Sometimes the color of our skins is just some pigments gathering And who we love isn’t a statement, an attack, or an agenda Just someone who makes us feel human So won't you open up your heart Until there's space inside your chest And won't you open up your lungs Until they’re burning with your breath Just take it all in and let it all go Love more, keep faith, have hope Even when it hurts Even when it hurts the most
