lyrics
Morning brings a new arrival in
To your house leave the door open
In this being, believing you know that we all contain multitudes
And you want it, but you can’t rely on us all to show gratitude
Welcome them all
Even a sorrowful crowd
That sweeps through your house
Clearing your thoughts aloud
And those places you’re not sure you asked for are behind the door, sometimes
You might have wanted it closed, but you know that you’d be here on different lines
The dark thoughts, the shame
Meet them at the door
You’ll laugh and invite them gratefully in
As a guide from beyond
To your house leave the door open
In this being, believing you know that we all contain multitudes
And you want it, but you can’t rely on us all to show gratitude
Welcome them all
Even a sorrowful crowd
That sweeps through your house
Clearing your thoughts aloud
And those places you’re not sure you asked for are behind the door, sometimes
You might have wanted it closed, but you know that you’d be here on different lines
The dark thoughts, the shame
Meet them at the door
You’ll laugh and invite them gratefully in
As a guide from beyond
