Well it`s high time you realize
that I must live my life as it surrounds me
I can give you all the room you need to be yourself as I am
in the same key
We can live our lives together, yes, and still remain
ourselves if we believe
And I believe, oh, oh darlin`.

Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
Got to keep workin` hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin`, got to keep givin`.
Got to let nothin` get in the way of livin`.
Gotta keep open.

I`ve given you my heart, I give my soul
I give you everything I have
Yes, and just as there`s a special part of you
that`s yours alone
To keep, I`m glad there is so much we can do together
And I believe, oh, oh darlin`.

Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
Got to keep workin` hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin`, got to keep givin`.
Got to let nothin` get in the way of livin`.
Gotta keep open.

I was looking for love, I was losing my mind.
I was searching for someone to care.
I was fighting my feelings to turn and to run.
And I looked in your heart.
And I saw there was somebody there.

So I`m sitting on the river in your city
and I`m writing out these words
And I hope that you will listen to my song
`cos it is mine and now it`s yours
I`m the master of my fate and the captain of my soul
and I believe
yes, I believe, oh, oh darlin`.

Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
Got to keep workin` hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin`, got to keep givin`.
Got to let nothin` get in the way of livin`.
Gotta keep open.
