A new door appears/ I can finally hear you knocking
the old sorrows fade away
and a broken heart recovers from its decay
after years of waiting in the darkness
after years of tears/ happiness
after years of hatred/ peace
after years of self-regret/ understanding
the chains have been broken/ no longer grief's token
the fabled time thought to be mere lore
and so I now return to the door
with the simple promise of something more
as I step forward the past trails spill unto the floor
speeding throughout the path all the memories of gore
that once my heart they tore
each scar a coat of armor
each defeat a medal
each doubt a story
each year a journey
each rejection a lesson
each challenge a test
yet now I can have rest
as I stand once again before the door there is no fear
for it is your footsteps I can here
It's time it's time you're finally there
the one I will hold dear
a presence nothing can block
a moment that has to wait forever on the clock
however, no more for I now hear your long awaited knock
and I know for once someone is behind the door
and who could ask for anything more
