Three Keys

Throughout my live I was handed keys
To open many doors, some to lease
Doors of difficulty, doors of ease
Three keys stands out most from all of these

Key One I got when I turned one 
It started my car with a brrhumhum
It was so innocent, it was fun
This key I got when I turned one

Key Two I got and I felt I won
The day I turned on twenty one 
My door was open I could run 
I could drive my own car, buy a gun

Key Three I got it on my knees
I still can’t use it, it’s on freeze
To open Heaven’s Great Big Gate
I beg you Lord, please end my wait
