Open Door

I recall

A time when you and I would talk a little more

To each other face to face through love and war

When I knew there'd always be an open door

For me

But I know

That home is just some place I always leave behind

It's with me everywhere I go when I close my eyes

I know someday I'll catch you in the by and by

I know

I know

Dear mother

I know I have been away for far too long

Dear mother

Hope you understand it

When you hear this song

'Cause you taught me how to be right in a world gone wrong

Gone wrong

But it ain't

Ain't how long you live, it's how you live your life

Burn bright until the grave

But don't shy away from the light

'Cause I won't waste my days

I will use my time

My time

My time

Dear father

I know I have been away for far too long

Dear father

I know you'll understand it

When you hear this song

'Cause you taught me how to be right in a world gone wrong

Gone wrong

I recall

A time when you and I would talk a little more

To each other face to face through love and war

Well, I hope there will always be an open door

For me
