Doors Open…Doors Close

                                                                                            Words & Music: E. Pettersen

Doors open, doors close                                        

This world is just a room we walk through   

Until it’s time to go          

Doors open, doors close                 

How much time we get to spend here    

Nobody really knows

CHORUS:

So, I’ll cling to the promises

I learned when I was young

When my life here on earth ends                

It’s only begun…….

We worry, we cry

Then we sit and watch in silence

As the days and years go by

Be bolder, be brave

Leave a legacy of love

Remembered far beyond the grave

CHORUS:

Then, remember the promises

We learned when we were young

When our life here on earth ends

It’s only begun…….

CHORUS:

So, I’ll cling to the promises

I learned when I was young

When my life here on earth ends

It’s only begun…….

Bridge:

Life is only an hourglass

The sands are rushing through

My greatest blessing is being here with you

I want to use all my days to stand up here and

sing   

A small and simple “thank you” to the King

It’s time now, goodbye

I know we’ll meet again

So, there’s no need for you to cry

Be brave now, be strong

I’m going on ahead of you

To find the place where we belong

CHORUS:

So, remember the promises

We learned when we were young

When our life here on earth ends

It’s only begun…….

Doors open, doors close…
