When one door closes another door opens wide
It's hard to believe all of the locked doors I've tried
And you can't pray for what you want or what you'd have instead
You can only offer up your heart and ask that you be led
Life's gonna take you, where you never thought you'd go
When you finally think you've got it down, It isn't so
There are windows and doors, you're not finished with yet
It's not always getting what you want, but wanting what you get
It's not gettin' easier, so I'm not going to pretend
That I know this story from it's beginning to it's end
Oh believe me when I tell you, believe me if you can
If I could turn down the noise of my own will and choice
I could hear the truth of my life in a clear voice
I will bow down my head to the wisdom of my heart
Cool my heels and hold on to the best parts
