Story Behind The Song
This is a song for me about transformation, about forgiveness for the wasted time and searching in circles fil finally breaking free, the journey's end and new beginning: this moment of clarity, this moment, perfect as it is.
Song Description
Looking back over the twisted path taken, having moved in circles for awhile to finally arrive at the moment it was all leading up to: this one.

Lyrics
DOORS OF THE WORLD
(c)(p) 2004 Mitchelle Tanner
I have waited so many years for this
What was I waitin for
The doors of the world to open wide
And let me inside the secrets of my mind
So I moved in circles
I moved in a dream
I moved into rooms where I could've sworn
I'd already been
But I was lost inside this place
Time to turn around
Make an about face
The light is the other way, she said
The light is the other way
So follow me
Well I may not do this right every time
But I'm strong, yes I'm strong
So come along, yeah yeah
Come along, yeah yeah
But I have lost so much time, baby
Followin the wrong tracks, the wrong streets
The wrong maps
You see the sun came out and melted
All my footprints in the snow
The seasons changed but I was the last to know
So I moved in circles, I moved in a dream
I moved back into rooms
Where I could've sworn I'd already been
But I was looking for this light
Had to listen hard not to miss that voice
Sayin the light is the other way
So follow me, follow me
Well I may not do this right every time
But I'm strong strong strong
So come along, yeah yeah
Come along, yeah yeah
And the light the light the light
Is the other way
Make an about face, uh hey hey
I have waited so many so many years
Just for this
For this
