Lyrics
When we`re knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.
It`s where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it`s greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we`re knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That`s what the wall of love is for.
It`s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It`s more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.
And when you stop and think about it
You won`t believe it`s true.
That all the love you`ve been giving
Has all been meant for you.
I`m looking for someone to change my life.
I`m looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it`s done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she`s waiting there for me.
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.
I`m looking for someone to change my life.
I`m looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it`s done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.
It`s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It`s more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.
Why do we never get an answer
When we`re knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.
It`s where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it`s greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we`re knocking at the door?
