Jack Johnson - Open Mind lyrics

Why is it so hard to find an open mind?
I'm finding it so hard to keep an open mind
I open up the windows, there's a storm inside
Let the wind blow in and
The rain wash away the shiny little things
Trying to find a way into mine
Some nights I can fall for hope
But some I can't sleep
And sometimes I can forget that
It's falling to pieces

And why we find it so easy to believe
In everything we're sold
But we're never going to see?
And everything around us is
Begging just to be
Loved a little more, we can pray to anything
You want, you need, anything you want

An open mind stuck between hope and doubt
Don't try to make sense of it
It don't work out
Sharpen all our senses 'til we
Can't see the light
Jury-rig ambitions 'til they come
Back at nighttime, knocking
Let me in, let me go

And why we find it so easy to believe
In everything we're sold
But we're never going to see?
And everything around us is
Begging just to be
Loved a little more, we can pray to anything
We want, we need, anything we want

Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
