The melody always finds me Whenever the thought reminds me Breaking a chain inside my head The melody chord unwinds me The rhythm of life unties me Brushing the hands of time away If you look in your mind Do you know what you will find Open your mind... Even the words they fail me Oh look what it's doing to me I never say what I want to say It's only a word believe me If only the world could see me I promise I'd send the word away If you look with your eyes Do you know what you will find Open your mind
