A song that gave great meaning to my life at a certain time.

Well once , somewhere, sometime ago
His eyes were clear to see,
He put his thoughts into my mind,
And gave my self to be
He stopped me from living so unsane,
I could be just what I want to be
And things appear as they really are,
I can see just what I want to see

Oh come on, and let it happen to you,
I say, I say come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind 
And let everything come through
Come on yeah!

Well it starts like a Roller coaster ride,
So real it takes your breath away
It slides you through your point of view,
You look back to where you thought you’d stayed
Your ride changes outside view,
While it glides you like a neon ray,
And you find you don’t have to search for words,
‘Cause there’s nothing you need to say

Well come on, you gotta let it happen to you,
Come on, and let it happen to you,
You gotta open up your mind 
And let everything come through

After your trip life opens up,
You start doing what you want to do
And you find out that the world that you once feared,
Gets what it has from you
No one can ever hurt you
‘Cause you know more than you thought you knew
And you’re looking at the world
From brand new eyes,
And no one can ever spoil the view

Come on, and let it happen to you,
Hey, hey, hey come on, and let it happen to you,
You gotta open up your mind 
And let everything come through

Open up your mind,
And let everything come through

Rollercoaster (T. Hall, R. Erickson) 1966
