Alecia Moore - Open Door lyrics

[Hook] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] But it ain't Ain't how long you live it's how you live your life Burn bright until the grave Don't shy away from the light Cause I won't waste my days I will use my time My time, my time [Chorus 2] 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 [Hook] 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
