Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing in the hallway, there's doors on either side
Gotta go somewhere, but I can't decide
Each one leading to somewhere new
Which one to open, which one to pursue?
[Chorus]
Oh, these doors of destiny
Some locked tight, some with a key
Every choice opens one more
What lies beyond, we can't be sure
[Verse 2]
Brass knobs shine and hinges creak
Some doors wide, some doors peek
Do we enter, do we pass?
Each decision built to last
[Chorus]
Oh, these doors of destiny
Some locked tight, some with a key
Every choice opens one more
What lies beyond, we can't be sure
[Bridge]
We can't open every door
But we can choose which to explore
For behind each one we find
A piece of our evolving mind
[Verse 3]
Some doors lead to rooms of light
Others dark as starless night
But in each space we choose to roam
We find a piece of our true home
[Chorus]
Oh, these doors of destiny
Some locked tight, some with a key
Every choice opens one more
What lies beyond, we can't be sure
[Chorus]
Oh, these doors of destiny
Some locked tight, some with a key
Every choice opens one more
What lies beyond, we can't be sure
[Verse 4]
As I reach the final door
I'll look back on those before
In every choice to go or stay
I've lived my life in my own way
[Chorus]
Open doors of destiny
Doors unlocked, I hold the key
Open doors, not in our way
From dawn to dusk, from day to day
[outro]
Open doors of destiny
Through these doors, I'll find my way
