Open Door from Colours by Ralph Maten

I recall
A time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
When I knew there'd always be an open door for me
But I know, that home is just some place I always leave behind
It's with me everywhere I go and I close my eyes
And I know someday I'll catch you in the by and by
I know, I know

Dear mother
I know I have been away
for far too long
Dear mother
Hope you'll understand it
when you hear this song
Cause you taught me how to be right
in a world gone wrong
Gone wrong

But it ain't
It ain't how long you live
it's how you live your life
Burn bright until the grave don't shy
away from the light
Cause I won't waste my days
I will use my time
My time, my time

Dear father
I know I have been away for far too long
Dear father
I know you'll understand it when you hear this song
Cause you taught me how to be right in a world gone wrong
Gone wrong

I recall
A time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
Well I hope there will always be an open door
For me
