The Door

I was down for so long
Everything I did was wrong
And I found fault
In everyone but me
I was hurt and alone
I could not find my way home
Broke-down and hungry
And too tired to moan
[Chorus]
Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open
I was trapped in my mind
A prisoner of my own design
Lost in a world
A world of confusion
I was there by myself
Couldn't find no help no where else
Thought I'd call up the hotline
But there was nobody there
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
