Lyrics
You lock the door to your room;
keeping all your treasures inside.
You lock the door to your heart;
From all the pain and fear you want to hide.
I was hurt and angry
Feeling you were rejecting me.
But now I understand,
that you're fighting for your life
in the shadow of God's hand.
You lock the door to your song;
hiding away the key.
You lock the door to your joy;
perhaps feeling that it never can be.
You put a guard at your door;
and you he won?t let me get by
I just keep hope alive;
knowing that you can't be with me
?til you face your fear and survive.
You lock the door to your room
guarding your secret things.
You lock the door to your heart;
Protecting your self
from all that love brings.
Lock a door a long time;
and we forget that it exists.
Then we go passing by;
wond'ring how we can get through
to a better place than this.
You lock the door to your song,
And I don't have the key.
You lock the door to your joy;
seeking some safe place
where you can be free.
Every song has a key;
a pattern that makes things clear;
if we seek it faithfully
and listen very closely and with
tender loving care.
