Thus It Knocked 'Pon My Door

Someone's words had reached me,
a word I've heard so far away,
a word I've seen a mile away,
a word whose presence hides away;
but no one is listening;
thus it knocked 'pon my door.

Someone's thoughts had reached me,
a thought whose mind had died away,
a thought whose message twas thrown away,
a thought whose vision had lost it's way;
but no one was thinking;
thus it knocked 'pon my door.

Someone's heart had reached me,
a heart whose tears had long since dried,
a heart whose chest still beats alive,
a heart whose love had never stopped trying;
but no one would love it;
thus it knocked 'pon my door.
