The Chamber Of 32 Doors |
At the top of the stairs, there’s hundreds of people |
Running around to all the doors |
They try to find, find themselves an audience |
Their deductions need applause |
The rich man stands in front of me |
The poor man behind my back |
They believe they can control the game |
But the juggler holds another pack |
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust |
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust |
I’d rather trust a countryman than a townman |
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can |
He’ll smile through his guard |
Survival trains hard |
I’d rather trust a man who works with his hands |
He looks at you once, you know he understands |
Don’t need any shield |
When you’re out in the field |
But down here |
I’m so alone with my fear |
With everything that I hear |
And every single door, that I’ve walked through |
Brings me back, back here again |
I’ve got to find my own way |
The priest and the magician |
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard |
And they’ll calling out my name |
Even academics, searching printed word |
My father to the left of me |
My mother to the right |
Like everyone else they’re pointing |
But nowhere feels quite right |
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust |
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust |
I’d rather trust a man who doesn’t shout what he’s found |
There’s no need to sell if you’re homeward bound |
If I choose a side |
He won’t take me for a ride |
Back inside |
This chamber of so many doors |
I’ve nowhere, nowhere to hide |
I’d give you all of my dreams, if you’d help me |
Find a door |
That doesn’t lead me back again |
— Take me away |
