[Verse 1]
There's no formula for happiness
That's guaranteed to work
It all depends on how you treat your friends
And how much you've been hurt

[Chorus]
But it's a start
When you open up your heart
And try not to hide
What you feel inside
Just open up your heart

[Verse 2]
There's no dreamer who's ever dreamed
And seen it all come true
Takes a lot of time and breaks a lot of hearts
To see an idea through
And love's just a simple word
It's truth is easily lost
And sorry's said so easily
Nobody counts the cost

[Chorus]
But it's a start
When you open up your heart
Give your love to others
They'll become your brothers
Just open up your heart
Come on, make a start
Try not to hide
What you feel inside
Just open up your heart
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
But it's a start
You open up your heart
Give your love to others
They'll become your brothers
And open up your heart
Come on, make a start
Try not to hide
What you feel inside
Just open up your heart

[Verse 3]
There's no formula for happiness
That's guaranteed to work
And no lover's ever been in love
And not been hurt
No dreamer's ever dreamed
And seen it all come true
In the end you find the things that count
A look to me and you

[Chorus]
But it's a start
You open up your heart
Give your love to others
They'll become your brothers
And open up your heart
Come on, make a start
Try not to hide
What you feel inside
Just open up your heart
