Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Inspired by a Georgia Sea Island Spiritual. [1]

Lyrics

Open the Window
© Elise Witt ASCAP

Chorus:
  Open the window, children
  Open the window now
  Open the window, children
  Open the window, let the dove fly in

Mama and Papa are fighting like snakes
  (Open the window, let the dove fly in)
Baby is a-crying like her heart will break
  (Open the window, let the dove fly in)

Neighbors lock their doors, build fences so high
Don't see what's to discover on the other side
Borders 'round countries, borders 'round the skies
The only border close you in is the border 'round your mind

Some people have money, some people have none
What's the use of money if your heart's gone numb?
This big old world is in a great big mess
Let's open the window, find peace and rest

Spanish (sing-able translation)

Abran la ventana, niños
Abran la ventana ya
Abran la ventana, niños
Abran la ventana que entre la paloma

French (sing-able translation)

Ouvrez la fenêtre, mes enfants
Ouvrez la fenêtre maintenant
Ouvrez la fenêtre, mes enfants
Ouvrez la fenêtre, et laissez entrer la colombe
