There's no formula for happiness, that's guaranteed to work
It all depends on how you treat your friends
And how much you've been hurt

But it's a start, when you open up your heart
And try not to hide, what you feel insi-i-ide
Just open up your heart

There's no dreamer who's ever dreamed, and seen it all come true
Takes a lot of time and breaks a lot of hearts, to see an idea through
And love's just a simple word, it's truth is eas'ly lost
And sorry's said so easily, nobody counts the cost

But it's a start, when you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your bro-o-other
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel insi-i-ide
Just open up your heart

But it's a start, you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your bro-o-other
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel insi-i-ide
Just open up your heart

There's no formula for happiness that's guaranteed to work
And no lover's ever been in love, and not been hurt
No dreamer's ever dreamed, and seen it all come true
In the end you find the things that count, a look to me and you

But it's a start, you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your bro-o-other
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel insi-i-ide
Just open up your heart, look for another love
Try not to hide, what you feel insi-i-ide (fade)
