The Right Open

Curled up on the kitchen floor,

knees catching her tears.
Spine pressed against the cupboard door,
She’s looking for something to lean on once more.

He left her. Now she thinks she’s all broken
Don’t you know girl
doors shut
to lead you to the right open.

You think it’s an end
that has torn you apart
But in time you’ll see
that this is just a new start.

Businessman in suit,
his work is his life
“You’re just never around,”
were the last words from his wife.

He shows up at the office
Boss has something pressing to say,
"We’re making some cuts,
gonna have to let you go."
“But I’ve been here for years,” he says,
“It’s all I know.”

For his future, he thinks he is spoken.
If only you knew that
doors shut
to lead you to the right open.

You think it’s an end,
that has torn you apart.
But in time you’ll see
this is a just a new start.

Young actress expecting
at the peak of her career.
Stuck in a mother’s life
is her greatest fear.

But when she sees those little eyes
this woman comes to realize
that her little girl
is the only real thing about her world.

Thought your dreams were all stolen
but now you know girl,
doors close
to lead you to the right open.

You think it’s an end that has torn you apart
But in time you'll see
this is just a new start.

You’ll look back and find the lesson in it all.
God loves you. He won't let you fall.
You think you’ll never make it on your own.
Got news for you, you’re never alone.

It’s all about trust,
you can’t ever stop hoping
‘Cos doors shut
to lead you to the right open.

You think it’s an end,
that has torn you apart.
But in time you’ll see
this is just a new start.

Doors shut
to lead you to the right open
You think it’s an end
that has torn you apart.

But have a little faith, and an open heart
And you’ll come to see
that it’s a brand new start.
Not an end, just a brand new start. ©
