Behind the Door

When you were a child
curiosity in the eyes
There was always a door
that stayed closed
Some day it opened
You looked forward to it so much
But you weren't there
anymore, kid
 
And then, at twenty
you noticed
the path that went steeply up
It stays blocked for you
and also in love, there was
a door in the end
So you knew
that it had to come open soon
 
A secret's laying behind the door
And it will set you free
And you imagine
you'll be dazzled
and enchanted
So behind the door
you can find everything
Wonder and disappointment
But you'll find it out just
when you're over there
 
And then much later
without fear
You stand before your last door
But what happens then?
There might be eternity
or also the end
But you are ready
for the last step that stays
 
A secret's laying behind the door
And it will set you free
And you imagine
you'll be dazzled
and enchanted
So behind the door
you can find everything
Wonder and disappointment
But you'll find it out just
when you're over there
 
A secret's laying behind the door
And it will set you free
And you imagine
you'll be dazzled
and enchanted
So behind the door
you can find everything
Wonder and disappointment
But you'll find it out just
when you're over there
