Open Your Mind

Open Your Mind
Sometimes what you didn't know
You wanted was exactly where
You didn't think it was
Because it was right next to where you were
Sometimes it's just that simple
Sometimes the joy
You were looking for there, always there, always there
Was by your side all along
Was very close to where you
Used to sleep
And rest your head when you wanted to rest
Many times it's not so far
What you thought was so
Far to achieve
Many times it's not so close
What you feared to be a vast desert
Sometimes it's as simple as looking to the side
Sometimes it's as good as realizing
That it was inside your own home
What you call home
It's not always necessary to flap your wings to find the way
Sometimes what you thought you would never find
What you never thought could be reached by you
Was already in your hands
It had been there for a long time
Sometimes what you denied
What you swore was not for you
Was precisely what was for you, it was you
Many times it's simpler than it seems
Many times it seems more complicated than it is
Many times when we think
It's simply the end
It's just the beginning of something
That you could hardly wait to start
The beginning of eternity lies at the end of the finite
The beginning of eternity lies at the end of the idea that it has to end
Sometimes what you thought would never be, what you didn't want to see, that
You couldn't have, that you didn't think possible to find is what you already are
Sometimes what you want to become
What you want to be
What you want to do everything to be is what you already are
How can I transform into what I already am?
How can I fight for what I have already won?
How can I drown in the waters that I compose?
Many times everything you thought was impossible
Is what you already have
So many times what you thought was inadmissible
Is what you have already allowed
What you have already accepted
Is what you have even surrendered to
In the face of the certainty you used to have
But now you begin to see
That it wasn't any of that
Remember that nothing but change is
Nothing but change is
The eternal dance is change
Remember that nothing but change is
Remember that nothing but change
Will remain a hundred, a thousand, two thousand, a hundred thousand, a million years from now
Only change, plans, designs changing
Is all that will remain
You, me
Everything you conceived
Everything you have seen, seen, known, wanted, felt, lived
All of that will melt
Will dissipate in the sea, in change, in the waves
Will be reborn composing what lives forever
You will know where we will be
When all of this slips through our own hands
You will know what we will think
When what we are today
Slips through our own hands
Open your mind
Think about the things you want to be
Open your mind
Think about what you thought
Open your mind
Remember that you can be
Open your mind
Remember that you can be everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything you want
There are no limits for you
Open your mind
