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 |
