The Door (Mama’s song) by Jim Kenyon
originally for a SOTM entry
A song about how my mom inspired all 10 of her children after our Dad was killed in an accident.
.
Verse 1
[G]She carried the weight of the[C] world upon her [G]shoulders
Though I don’t recall that I [C] ever saw her[G] cry
Oh she[C] had a way to make the broken look [G]beautiful
oh she could [D] lift your spirits right [C]up into the[G] sky
.
Chorus
She’d say it’s [C]funny that neither side of a [G]door
can [C]know just what’s waiting on the other [G] side
but a [C]door can make what was, into what will [G]be
so [D]child, step out in the [C] world and take that [G]ride
.
yeah...
she’d say [C] leave your burdens and fears all behind [G] you
and [C] have the courage to walk right out that [G] door
ya' need to [C] spread your wings and learn how to [G] fly
and let [D] love take you where you’ve[C] never gone be[G]fore
.
. Verse 2
[G] well ya’ know our family never [C]had the best of [G]anything
but we made the best of [C] everything that we [G]could
through the [C]rain and the pains, somehow she kept us [G]dreaming
that we could[D] be anything , she [C] always made us feel so [G]good
.
Chorus
She’d say it’s [C]funny that neither side of a [G]door
can [C]know just what’s waiting on the other [G] side
but a [C]door can make what was, into what will [G]be
so [D]child, step out in the world and take that [G]ride
.
yeah...
she’d say [C] leave your burdens and fears all behind [G] you
and [C] have the courage to walk right out that [G] door
ya' need to [C] spread your wings and learn how to [G] fly
and let [D] love take you where you’ve[C] never gone be[G]fore
and let [D] love take you where you’ve[C] never gone be[G]fore
and let [D] love take you where you’ve[C] never gone be[G]fore
