[Verse 1]
The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

[Verse 2]
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

[Chorus]
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?

[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
