Horace Silver - Won't You Open Up Your Senses

To Rate
Verse 1
Those distant eyes that look at you
They're focusing another view
What do you think the trouble be
With eyes that look but do not see
The ear that is preoccupied
Is difficult to open wide
How can you get the picture clear
If when one speaks you do not hear?

Chorus
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?
Verse 2
Thе tongue that has the taste wе lack
Is like a whip upon the back
Why can't we taste their point of view
And measure what we say and do?
The turned-up nose that thinks we're great
Will blow our heads all out of shape
That thing we smell that's oh so crude
Could really be our attitude

Chorus
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?

Verse 3
Those plastic smiles upon your face
While going through the same, through the same old pace
Oh, where can be the inner glow
When facial muscles tighten so?
Those hands that touch but do not feel
That part of life that makes us real
Those arms outstretched and opened wide
But do they want someone inside?
Chorus
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?

Outro
Of your life
Of your life
Of your life
