Open Up Your Heart
(And Let The Son Shine In)

Mommy told me something a little girl should know
And it's all about the devil and I've learned to hate him so
He only causes trouble when you let him in the room
He will never, ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom

Chorus
So Let the Son shine in
Face Him with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So let the Son shine in
Face Him with a grin
Open up your heart and let the Son shine in

When we are unhappy the devil wears a grin but, oh, he starts a runnin' when the light comes pouring in
I know he'll be unhappy 'cuz I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smilin' he'll get tired of hangin' 'round

Chorus

If I forget to say my prayers
the devil jumps with glee
But he feels so awful, awful when he sees me on my knees
So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win
Just open up your heart and let the Son shine in

Chorus
