lyrics

I try today , to open my heart
A little wider

See those that I've been missing , like

The man on the corner

The homeless man
Societies cast away

A witness to the normalizing
Of inequalities hard face

The one whose found a way to

Survive in

Survive in

The glass & rubble

Survive in

These growing troubles



I try today , To open my eyes
A little wider

See those that I've been missing , like

The woman on the corner

The painted woman with eyes of a sparrow
Casting protection over us all

Or these words etched into city walls

Lead in to Verse

A poem to keep us

Alive and involved


Keep us,

alive and involved

Keep us
Feeling something at all


So we take a moment just to see
The beauty in the side streets

All that's living whether we see
Between the cracks in concrete

Oh a love, between,
the nature inside
And the nature that's become

The Wild
The Wild & ragged

Streets

I try today just to open my heart
A little wider

I try today just to open my heart
A little wider
