Through the Open Door

Lyrics

Down an empty hall
Darkness staring back at me as shadows
light the way (as shadows light the way)
Blackness makes its call
I cannot make a move or hold my fear at bay (my fear at bay)

(Oh) I imagine the light on the outside
I can never feel too sure (oh)
I fight the urge to just hide
I'm trapped forevermore
I can't walk through the open door

Walls are closing in
Always feeling trapped within
This fear that just won't fade (fear that just won't fade)
Finally I begin to take a step towards the
light and stop feeling afraid (stop feeling afraid)

(Oh) I imagine my fate if I just tried
How long will I endure? (Oh)
Escaping my fear from the inside
I'd feel free again once more
If I just walk through that open door!

In the end (in the end) I have tried (I have tried)
Answering the questions that torment my mind
My thoughts have always led me astray
In time (in time) I will find (I will find)
I've overcome the boundaries that confine
And all the fear fades away…

And the walls that I feared release me
I'm safe and now I'm sure
Fear no longer controls what I see
I've won this crucial war
Now I'll walk through the open door
