A meaningful choral piece for Treble Voices that speaks a “truth”
“All we really own is one point of view
And everywhere we go just confirms its true
But when we lose our truth and it breaks apart,
Then love will fill, will fill our heart.”

Description
Open up your heart, open up your mind,
Let your presence flow, seek and ye shall find.
Open up your world, open up your eyes,
For what you see today might yield a big surprise
For what you see as real is just what you know
And what you see as truth is a passing show
But what you see as hope is a ray of light
To guide you through the darkest night
Open up your book and start a brand new page
Develop your plot, then make the world your stage
Open up your show and show your strengths and flaws
Give yourself your all, don’t wait for your applause
For what you see as real is just what you know
And what you see as truth is a passing show
But what you see as hope will burn so bright
To help you through, to guide you through
To lead you toward the light, hope’s eternal light.
To guide you through the darkest night
All we really own is one point of view
And everywhere we go just confirms its true
But when we lose our truth and it breaks apart,
Then love will fill, will fill our heart.
