Hope Is An Open Window Lyrics


Are we not more than hunger and music?
Are we not more than harlequins and horns?
Are we not more than color and drums?
Are we not more than anger and dance?Give me courage
So I can spread it over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courageI walk these city streets, see the people there
Look into the eyes of quiet despair
And the faces tell a story that words never can
And it falls to everyone of us to try and understandOut of kindness
One act of grace
Makes the world we walk
A better placeHope is an open window, love an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every dayWe build walls of suspicion with bars of fears
Tell ourselves, we'll be safe in here
I know more brings us together, than keeps up apart

First we got to tear down these walls, within our heartsWe might be strangers
We can be friends
You and I we both need
To let somebody inHope is an open window, love an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every dayGive me courage
So I can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awake in our thunder
So that our eyes can see behind treesGive me courage
So I can spread over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courageHope is an open window, love's an open door
To reach out for each other, is what we came here for
Through an open window, we can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every dayHope is an open window, love an open door
Gotta be there for each other, is what we sent here for
Through an open window, we can find a way
To love one another, everydayHope is an open window, love an open door

Diana Ross (born Diane Ernestine Earle Ross on 26 March 1944 in Detroit, Michigan, USA) is an American soul, R&B and pop singer and actress. Ross is one of the most successful female artists of her era, both due to her solo work and her role as lead singer of The Supremes during the 1960s.

In 1959, Ross was brought to the attention of Milton Jenkins, the manager of the local doo-wop group The Primes, by Mary Wilson. Primes member Paul Williams convinced Jenkins to enlist Ross in the sister group The Primettes, which included Wilson, Florence Ballard and Betty McGlown.

In 1976, Billboard magazine named her the female entertainer of the century. In 1993, The Guinness Book Of World Records pronounced her the most successful female artist ever (the title is now attributed to Madonna), partly due to her combined total of eighteen number-one singles, six of them recorded solo and the remaining dozen from her work with the Supremes.

She was also one of the few pop singers to find modest success in the acting world winning an Academy Award nomination for her role as Billie Holiday in the 1972 film, "Lady Sings the Blues" as well as having hits with other film roles such as "Mahogany", "Out of Darkness" and "Double Platinum", not to mention her role in "The Wiz".

Ms. Ross has been awarded many lifetime achievement accolades from many organizations and media outlets, including BET, Soul Train, the NAACP Image Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement in 2011.

Her professional vocal collaborators have included the following during her career: Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Julio Iglesias, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Westlife, and Smokey Robinson, among others.
