Keep On Knocking
To live a life of splendor
A life of joy, comfort, and wonder
You knocked...
I opened.
Trust me, believe me, stand by me
The one in your dreams, let me be
You knocked...
I opened.
Walls slowly came crumbling down
Unaware of what was bound
You knocked...
I opened.
If only you came with a caution sign
so I could at least resign
You knocked...
I still opened.
Let the truth be told
For this I am too old
You knocked...
I cannot open.
Was I the fool
to be had by such a tool?
You continued to knock...
I will not open.
Farewell to you and your cruel lies
I turn a deaf ear to all your cries
You knocked...
I will NEVER open!
