The Door Was Always Open Lyrics - Messenger - Joe Pug

After all the windows on the ground floor had been broken 

After all the undemanding officers had spoken 

After all the trouble, after all the commotion 

I walked right through 

The door was always open 

When I was seventeen, I set out on the ocean 

Searching for Columbus or wherever he was going 

Then twenty thousand miles came down to just a moment 

I sailed right through 

The door was always open 

I climbed the Western Wall without anybody knowing 

I held the guardsman captive with a pistol I had stolen 

He just poured a cup of coffee and said, "Son, now here's a notion" 

The next time you drop by 

The door is always open 

So it seems I've spent a lifetime restive and beholden 

To standing on the threshold absolutely frozen 

Waiting on some god above to tell me I was chosen 

Instead I spoke myself 

The door was always open 

Instead I spoke myself 

The door was always open
