Open Windows Rising

(yeah, alright)

Open up the windows let the evening in

Throw the doors wide open,

call the next of kin

From the wooden steps down to the grassy floor We don't need

to count who's knocking at the door

Can you feel it rising,

drawing everyone near?

(ohhh) Like a single breath,

we're glad we're standing here

Singing out from the porch to the yard

No more working, no more pushing too hard (hey,

hey) Underneath the sky,

we're a wild-hearted crowd Make it sweet,

make it true, make it loud!

Tables in the shade with the sweet tea cold

Hearing all the stories that we've always told

Yeah, the kids are running circles round the pine Everything is easy,

everything is fine

Singing out from the porch to the yard

No more working, no more pushing too hard (hey,

hey) Underneath the sky,

we're a wild-hearted crowd Make it sweet,

make it true, make it loud!

Sing it loud now!

(yeah, alright)
