Lyrics
You say you're trying to handle the situation
But your mind is filled with aggravation
You say you can't turn to your relations
You say you can't deal with world inflation
'Cause you mind is getting tighter
Don't think that the load's gonna get any lighter
Hoping that your world doesn't any wider
Hoping that your life gonna get any brighter
Open you mind
Turn your head towards the sky
Every little thing is gonna get a little better, yeah yeah
If you open up your mind
Turn your head towards the sky
Which will down in your heart and you'll feel better
If you open up your mind
Turn your head towards the sky
Every little thing gonna get a little better, yeah yeah
If you open up your mind
Turn your head towards the sky
Things weigh down in your heart and you'll feel better
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And you've got Charlie
We've brought you everything on the one this evening
This is G-A-P
Gonna put it on the one
You're still talking about
The bad materials things
That you are so hung up on this evening, ah
You have it your way
Have yourself a break today
Angeldust ain't the way
You see come on over my side of town
Everything we do is one, the one
You wanna open up your mind up very wide this evening
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
