Lyrics

When you're young you've got it, all figured out -you face life without any doubt
You think you've got the world in the palm of your hands - You're thinking that you're doing the best that you can.
And I say years go by without any trace - as the wrinkles appear on your face
You're older and wiser AND then once again are you really doing the best that you can
And i say open up your eyes and see the world outside - look beyond your life.
Open up your heart and feel the hungry world - you can do what's right.
Because life is what we make of it - love is what we want to get.
And i say, open up your eyes and see the world outside - look beyond your life.
Open up your heart and feel the hungry world - you can do what's right.
When you look back at where you have been - Would you like to go there again?
Do the totals add up to the sum of your life – does love, pass you by like a ship in the night?
i say open up your eyes and see the world outside - look beyond your life.
Open up your heart and feel the hungry world - you can do what's right.
Because life is what we make of it - love is what we want to get.
To get what you need you've got to give - everybody's got a right to live.
And I say, everybody's got a right to live - And I say, everybody's got a right to life
And I say, everybody's got a right to live - And I say, everybody's got a right to survive
And I say, open up your eyes and see the world outside - look beyond your life.
Open up your heart and feel the hungry world - you can do what's right.
Because life is what we make of it - love is what we want to get.
To get what you need you've got to give - everybody's got a right to live.

And I say, everybody's got a right to live, everybody's got a right to life

And now you look at how life is today and how you don’t know what to do as it keeps slipping away. So, there's just one thing that’s left for you to do, yah.  just open your heart and let Jesus shine through, He just wants to come in, and wash away all of your sin, and then your new life begins
And now life is what you make of it, but the love of God is what you really want to get and to get what you need you gotta let Him in, oh, oh, let Jesus in
Oh yes let Jesus in.
Now I say, everybody's got a right to live -Now I say, everybody's got a right to new life
Now I say, everybody's got a right to live - And I say, everybody's got a right to survive
And I say, open up your eyes and see the world outside - look beyond your life.
Open up your heart and feel the hungry world - you can do what's right.
Because life is what we make of it – God’s love is what we want to get.
To get what you need you've got to give - everybody's got a right to have a born-again new life...
