lyrics

Open up your eyes and tell me what you see
If you realize, won't you share the words with me
Open up your door and tell me what you find
If it's something beautiful it couldn't be one of a kind

This old world keeps spinning around
I just don't know if we can slow her down
This old world keeps moving along
I hope there's time to change her before she's gone

Open up your heart and tell me what you feel
If you think it's love, well I hope that it is real
Open up your hand and tell me what you hold
It might be our future unless this story's told

This old world keeps spinning around
I just don't know if we can slow her down
This old world keeps moving along
I hope there's time to change her before she's gone

We all know what we're doing here
And I still think there's time
We all know when we see it clear
So we should do
We should do
We should do what's right

Open up your mind and tell me what you think
You say you can speak the words but it doesn't change a thing
Then open up your soul and think about the child
'Cause if we don't repair what we have done they'll never smile

This old world keeps spinning around
I just don't know if we can slow her down
This old world keeps moving along
I hope there's time to change her before she's gone

We all know what we're doing here
And I still think there's time
We all know when we see it clear
So we should do
We should do
We should do what's right

Thomas Reed Smith Cleveland, Ohio

“My songs are stories,” says Thomas Reed Smith. “Stories about people I know or have heard about.”

Since 1996, he has been soaking up inspiration from the north shore of Ohio, an area populated by hard-working, hard drinking midwesterners that stubbornly ply their trades amidst the industrial buildings and bridges that lace the suburbs of Cleveland. ... more
