You are the author with a pen in your hand writing the book
Every day can be a new day if you know where to look
Every thing can be a little bit better with a different outlook
Choose to see the silver lining instead of the toll that it took
Cause when the storm passes, a rainbow can be seen
So too is the beauty in the downfall and total release
Be what you need to be
Don't let others limit your possibilities
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
Be what you need to be
Live for the now, the life that you lead
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
When you live for others it's far too easy to lose sight
On what you believe and what you hold to be morally right
But what better time than now to prepare for the fight
Cause the darkness that comes cannot scare off the light
Cause when the storm passes, a rainbow can be seen
So too is the beauty in the downfall and total release
Be what you need to be
Don't let others limit your possibilities
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
Be what you need to be
Live for the now, the life that you lead
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
Don't hold back, my friend
Cause I swear by this truth
Regret comes round again
When you do not know you
You have to live with your choice
The things that you do
Proclaim it with your voice
And tell us what you've needed to
Be what you need to be
Don't let others limit your possibilities
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
Be what you need to be
Live for the now, the life that you lead
Open up your mind and be free
I said open up your mind and be free
