[Verse 1] I kept my fear in a drawer under old receipts and rain Every little crack in the floor felt like it knew my name I smiled through the broken days like I had nowhere to run But the moon on my windowpane said, "Baby, morning comes" [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it the lock in my chest and I shook it till it turned to dust [Chorus] Open the gate, open the gate I’m not afraid of the change Open the gate, open the gate there’s a brighter side of pain (Open the gate) I can breathe now (Open the gate) I’m coming through now [Verse 2] I used to count the worst case first like it kept me safe somehow But the hurt I fed got heavy fast and I’m lighter now Your hand reached out, I reached back shaking, but I stayed Every scar got a little gold when I let it fade [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it the lock in my chest and I shook it till it turned to dust [Chorus] Open the gate, open the gate I’m not afraid of the change Open the gate, open the gate there’s a brighter side of pain (Open the gate) I can breathe now (Open the gate) I’m coming through now [Bridge] If I fall, I’ll fall forward into morning, into light I was buried in the question [Verse 1] I kept a key in my pocket For a door I never touched Little scars in my notebook Little dreams I didn't trust I wore my fear like a sweater Even when the sun came through But the more I held it tighter The more it held on to me too [Pre-Chorus] Then you said, "look at me" "Take one small step" "Let it shake, let it break" "You're not done yet" [Chorus] Open the door Open the door There's a light on the floor And it knows your name Open the door Open the door What you fear stays behind When you walk through change [Verse 2] Now I see my old shadows On the wall, they look so small Not a cage, just a passage Not the end, not at all And I still hear the old ache When the night gets in my chest But I hum a little louder Till it settles, till it rests [Pre-Chorus] Then you said, "look at me" "Take one small step" "Let it shake, let it break" "You're not done yet" [Chorus] Open the door Open the door There's a light on the floor And it knows your name Open the door Open the door What you fear stays behind When you walk through change [Bridge] I was lost in the waiting Counting cracks in the walls Now I'm reaching for morning Even if I fall If my hands still tremble If my voice is small I will go a little farther I will answer the call [Final Chorus] Open the door Open the door There's a light on the floor And it knows your name Open the door Open the door What you fear stays behind When you walk through change Open the door Open the door I can feel something new On the other side
