Analysis of Open Your Heart



Open your heart, Unlock your mind.
Take it apart, see what you find.
The answers are all there within.
Deep in your heart and under your skin.
Look deep inside,
'Till there's no place to hide.
You then will discover
The love you've denied.
The love you've forsaken,
The hate you've been makin'
Open your heart, unlock your mind.
Take it apart see what you find.
