about

'Open Your Heart' reminds us that EVERYTHING is born out of love, even our most terrible and violent shadows... because love is all there is. Hate, pain, shame, rage... all started out as love that became twisted and contracted as they encountered the illusion of separation.

lyrics

Verse 1
Holy holy night, the light and the shadow unite
Here in the dark we can see that I’m you and you’re me x2

Bridge
And here we are, we’re dancing in a dream
A dream of love x 2

Chorus
Open your heart
All of the pain you’re afraid of was love at the start
Open your heart
Even the hate that’s created was love at the start
Open up wide, we’ll laugh and we’ll cry
All of my brothers and sisters and I
Nowhere to hide, we’ll live and we’ll die
Just like the stars and the sun in the sky
Open your heart
All of the pain you’re afraid of was love at the start

Verse 2
Calling of the sea, come swim in the water with me
Here in the depths we can feel it’s all real and unreal x2

Bridge
Chorus

Outro
All of the pain you’re afraid of
The fear and the shame that it’s made of
The blackest of hate you hate so much…
Was love at the start

Ruth’s gently evocative music is born out of her own passion for self-knowledge; driven to explore the deepest essence of her humanity and her interconnectedness with the great web of life. In her music she blends the numinous with the human, weaving hypnotic guitar riffs and tender poetry with rambunctious offbeat grooves and playful word-smithery. ... more
