The Gatekeeper by Adam Buckland Ensemble

Your ID doesn’t work here
And neither do your lies
There’s no one here you can manipulate
No scapegoat to gaslight

I’m the doorman to potentially the best part of your life
Some say I’m the gatekeeper to the journey of a thousand miles

I hang out with Ganesh
We lead a secret tribe
We know if you’ve been bad or good
If you think in black and white

I’m the doorman to potentially the best part of your life
Some say I’m the gatekeeper to the journey of a thousand miles
A camouflaged, undercover bouncer
Sometimes a sentinel
Sometimes sentinel
Sometimes

I scan the horizon
While I keep an ordered line
Wuji, bow stance, sentient
Absorbing all surprises
This song is a message, a gift
An offering to my guides
My shift is done, the door is locked
Come back some other time

I’m the doorman to potentially the best part of your life
Some say I’m the gatekeeper to the journey of a thousand miles
A camouflaged, undercover bouncer
Sometimes a sentinel
Sometimes sentinel
Sometimes

Don’t ask me what’s behind the door, you might find out in time
Don’t ask me what’s behind the door, you might find out in time
Don’t ask me what’s behind the door, you might find out in time
Don’t ask me what’s behind the door

I’m not sure if or when I’ll let you in
