The Chamber of 32 Doors

Lyrics

[Verse 1] [Part I] At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people Running around to all the doors They try to find, find themselves an audience Their deductions need applause [Part II] The rich man stands in front of me The poor man behind my back They believe they can control the game But the juggler holds another pack [Part III] I need someone to believe in Someone to trust I need someone to believe in Someone to trust [Part IV] I'd rather trust a countryman than a town man You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can He'll smile through his guard, survival trains hard I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands He looks at you once, you know he understands Don't need any shield when you're out in the field [Part V] But down here I'm so alone with my fear With everything that I hear And every single door That I've walked through Brings me back, back here again I've got to find my own way [Verse 2] [Part I] The priest and the magician Singing all the chants that they have ever heard And they're all calling out my name Even academics searching printed word [Part II] My father to the left of me My mother to the right Like everyone else, they're pointing But nowhere feels quite right [Part III] And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust [Part IV] I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound If I choose a side, he won't take me for a ride [Part V] Back inside This chamber of so many doors I've nowhere, nowhere to hide I'd give you all of my dreams If you'd help me Find a door that doesn't lead me back again Take me away
