Doors of Today

Intro]

Morning breaks across my room,

Golden light begins to bloom.

I leave behind the dreams I knew,

And step into a world brand new.

Verse 1

The city moves in waves of sound,

While sunlight dances on the ground.

The streets I've known look strange somehow,

Like something's waiting for me now.

I see the colors in the rain,

Hear distant echoes in the train.

The world is changing as I stare,

But somehow I am still right there.

Pre-Chorus

Turn the handle, cross the line,

Leave the yesterday behind.

Every moment opens wide,

There's a universe inside.

Chorus

Open the doors of today,

Let the morning lead the way.

Take a breath and look around,

There's new life in every sound.

Open the doors of today,

Let the old fears drift away.

We don't have to know what's next—

We can find it step by step.

Verse 2

The clouds roll slowly overhead,

Like painted thoughts inside my head.

I watch them change, I watch them flow,

And realize there's room to grow.

A familiar face begins to smile,

And suddenly the world feels worthwhile.

We laugh about the things we've done,

And chase the afternoon sun.

Progressive Bridge – Instrumental

The further that I let things go,

The more I find I already know.

Quiet Bridge

Yesterday has had its time,

Tomorrow waits beyond the line.

But here beneath the open sky,

This moment is enough to fly.

Final Chorus

Open the doors of today,

Let every color find its place.

Feel the rhythm, feel the sound,

Feel the turning world around.

Open the doors of today,

There's no need to be afraid.

Every ending, every start,

Leaves another door inside your heart.

Outro

The sun goes down,

The stars appear,

The world feels strange,

But strangely clear.

Another door,

Another day—

I turn the key...

And walk away.

End

Instrumental Interlude – Cimbalom and Synthesizer

Verse 3

Footsteps wander past the gate,

Where the evening hesitates.

Somewhere far a bell is ringing,

Somewhere near a voice is singing.

I have carried questions long,

Turned them over into song.

Now the answers drift like weather,

Piecing quiet things together.

Pre-Chorus

Count the windows, one by one,

Every pane reflects the sun.

What I lost was never gone—

It was waiting all along.

Chorus

Open the doors of tomorrow,

Let it borrow all your sorrow.

Trade the worry for the wonder,

Let the thunder pull you under.

Open the doors of tomorrow,

Every joy and every sorrow.

We don't have to know the way—

We can learn it day by day.

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Learn it day by day

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

We can learn it day by day

Verse 4

Children draw with colored chalk,

Leaving pictures on the walk.

Rain will wash them all away,

But they'll draw again someday.

I have watched the seasons turn,

Felt the fire and felt it burn.

Every scar becomes a story,

Every doubt becomes a doorway.

Bridge

If the road should disappear,

I will build it from the years.

If the sky should lose its blue,

I will paint it back with you.

Instrumental Break

Quiet Bridge

Time is not a thing to chase,

It's a river, not a race.

Let it carry, let it call,

Let it hold you through it all.

Final Chorus

Open the doors of tomorrow,

Let the light dissolve the sorrow.

Feel the rhythm, feel the sound,

Feel the turning world around.

Open the doors of tomorrow,

There is nothing left to borrow.

Every ending, every start,

Leaves another door inside your heart.

Outro

The cimbalom keeps ringing on,

Long after the light is gone.

The strings remember what we said,

Humming softly in my head.

Another door,

Another way—

I turn the key...

And walk away.
