“When The Door Is Open”
(Tom Entrican)
When the door is open and the key is put aside
No longer will you have a place where you can run and hide
Your life becomes an open book and left out on display
And many stop to take a look as they walk along the way
Some will take the time to smile while others close their eyes
Most see just the cover and never hear the cries
And few will ever take the time to touch your inner heart
No offer for or quest to see inside your deepest part
Some will come and set up stakes for just a little while
While others linger many years and leave a gentle smile
And there are those who come along with promises to stay
They rip things all apart and try to steal your joy away
You leave your door wide open through all the many years
And have a lot of smiles to share along with all the tears
The pains and all the sorrows try to swallow all the joy
Like fingers of distrust and fear just poking to annoy
But when the door is open and the key is put aside
No longer will you have a place where you can run and hide
For when you hide and lock the world outside
The joy won’t get a chance to win and behind your door you die
