Help comes when you need it most I'm cured for laughter Mood swings not sure I can cope My life's in plaster (in plaster) May your mind set you free (chorus: opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on May your mind let you breathe all of disaster (chorus: 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 mind's will be broken By this heart-felt song May your mind set you free (Chorus: Be opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on May your mind let you breathe all of disaster (Chorus: Be opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on, may your heart lead you on May your eyes let you see all of disaster May your heart lead you on, lead you on (Chorus: May your eyes be opened by the wonderful) Set you free (Chorus: May your heart lead you on) Lead you on
