Open the Door

I will not
Hope as I pray for the answers the way
That they come is just destined in time
Once they spoke
Talking of reasons that I could not control
So I wept
I played and lost focus
Presented with that which had
Dwarfed all the rest and turned my back
To resign
The visions of that which had carried me in time
But they would not subside

'Cause I cannot tell you how long I have known
That the lights will stay on even after the storm
And it may beat us down
Smash the sound
Start over new
But it can't seem to change this one thing we must do

I was young still
Expecting to reach
All the things we designed
Every place that I wanted to be
To hold it all
Forever inside and not get lost out on the ride
When all along
I knew what I'd need
But I'd chosen not to take the path before me just to see
I turned away
And twisted my days
To get lost out in a maze
And kept so far from safe

Cause' I cannot tell you how long it has shown
That deep in my heart there's a place I have known
And it may break away
Or make the day
The choice is our own
But it's only when it is dark that the light guides us home

And you are the light that fills me inside
Yea you were the only place that I can hide
But you wanted more from inside of my world
In a life I knew in another form
'Cause I was just dancing away there
'Til you lit up my days
We did all we could yea we stashed it away
And now we hold on tight
As we start to sway

And when you run away
Run away
Take me with you
'Cause I cannot bear to see what else we'd do
And though we're bashed around
We're batten down
To see this thing through.
'Cause there's still hope in a feeling that we'll never loose
Though the seasons will change it will not be cut loose
'Cause it's from the decay that our garden shall bloom

And I will not pray for that day anymore
It's here now we've opened the door
