Open and Close

Open your eyes to see the light.

Close them to protect yourself.

We often think it right

To close books on the shelf.

Open your soul to feel freedom.

Close it to protect yourself.

This is your grand kingdom.

But we forget our place.

Open your heart to feel love.

Close it to protect yourself.

We often fear the worst,

And forget the best will come.

Open your mind to know thoughts.

Close it to protect yourself.

Now, no one knows what you know.

Why should they tomorrow?

Open yourself to me.

Close it to protect yourself.

If you knew that I kept daggers behind my back,

Why did you find yourself in the presence of attack?
