Lyrics

Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured by laughter
Mood swings, not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster, in plaster
May your mind set you free
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe through all disaster
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead unto death row
Who knows what's after?
May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your minds will be broken
By this heartfelt song
May your mind set you free
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe through all disaster
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
(May your heart lead you on)
May your eyes let you see through all disaster
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on, lead you on
Lead you on, lead you on, lead you on, lead you on
(May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)
Set you free
(May your heart lead you on)
Lead you on
Lead you on, lead you on, lead you on, lead you on
(May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)
Set you free
