Open Songtext
von Squeeze

Standing at the alter with his bride-to-be beside
Through the stained glass window came down a beam of light
The weight of the commitment poured over him with fear
Like ice cream in a filling, now the future′s finally here
His soul had been replenished by the words the vicar read
The organist dissected all the pieces she'd been fed
Open your hands where once was a steeple
Then look within at all of the people
Family and friends in this congregation
Open your heart to this celebration
The choir pitched in early as his heart began to rip
His anxiety was swollen with a quiver of a lip
He looked around the chapel, seeing everybody there
He slowly fell to pieces and was only too aware
The vows were something special, so much deeper than he thought
Commitment bound in footsteps that would be a lifelong walk Open your hands where once was a steeple
Then look within at all of the people
Family and friends in this congregation
Open your heart to this celebration
Standing in the picture with his family all around
Proud to see their father finally put the anchor down
She had offered amnesty for a multitude of sins
Through the stained glass window her love shone down on him
Open your hands where once was a steeple
Then look within at all of the people
Family and friends in this congregation
Open your heart to this celebration
Open your heart
Let all of the people
The family and friends
