I heard an old song
Never heard it before
Wasn’t very long
But it opened a door
It reached right out
And shine a light on Love
And I have no doubt
It was sent from above
Why try to hide your soul?
Open the door before you get too old
But what if there’s nothing left to find
If you open the door you might be surprised
So all these old songs
You’ve never heard before
Why’d it take so long?
To unlock the door
So open your eyes
And open your ears
A whole world outside
New songs to hear
Why try to hide your soul?
Open the door before you get too old
But what if there’s nothing left to find
If you open the door you might be surprised
You say you don’t like
Most music today
All the industry hype
All the product for sale
But don’t just be
A consumer of things
Set yourself free
Live your own dreams
But what if there’s nothing left to find
If you open the door you might be surprised
