Someone  somewhere sometime ago
 His eyes were clear to see
 He put his thoughts into my mind
 And gave myself to me
He  stopped me from living so unsane
 I can be just what I want to be
Things  appear as they really are
 I can see just what I want to see
 Come on  and let it happen to you
 Come on  and let it happen to you
 You’ve got to open  up your mind
 And let everything come through
Oh  well, it starts like a roller coaster ride
 So real it takes your breath away
 It slides you through your point of view
 You look back to where you thought you’d stay
 Your ride  the changes outside you
 While inside you’re like a neon ray
 And you find  out you don’t have to search for words
 For there’s nothing you need to say
 Come on  and let it happen to you
 Come on  and let it happen to you
 You’ve got to open  up your mind
 And let everything come through
After  your trip life opens up
 You start doing what you want to do
 And you find out that the world you once knew
 Gets what it has from you
No  one can ever hurt you
 Because you know more that you thought you knew
 And you’re looking  at the world through brand new eyes
 And no one can ever spoil the view
 Come on and  let it happen to you
 Come on  and let it happen to you
 You’ve got to open  up your mind
 And let everything come through
  Repeat G - Am End
