Open Door Lyrics

Ooh gone to war

Waiting on an open door

Ooh gone to war

Waiting on an open door She always wondered

What it would be like

To see her husband

Going off to war

She remembers her mama

In nineteen sixty-five

Raisin' two kids

On her own

She didn't wanna

Relive it

Didn't ask for this

But there she was

In her own life

Watchin' and waiting

Hopin' and praying

For the one she loves

To come back home

Never forgetting

The sacrifice made

Of the ones

Who came before

She remembered

these things

Knockin' on her

Mama's front door

The conversation

Of Mother and child

Led to memories

Of days gone by

Like "How'd you make it

Mama, all that time

Without goin crazy

Once in awhile?"

She said, " You do

What you can

And you never give in

Put a smile on your face

And live!

Watchin' and waiting

Hopin' and praying

For the one you love

To come back home

Never forgetting

The sacrifice made

Of the ones

Who came before

She remembered

These things

Walkin' out her

Mama's front door

Well here I am

Now I understand

Now I know

What it's like to

Welcome him home

What it's like

To let him go

And I'll keep

Watchin' and waiting

Hopin' and praying

For the one I love

To come back home

Never forgetting

The sacrifice made

Of the ones

Who came before

Watching and waiting

Hoping and praying

For the one I love

To come back home

Never forgetting

The sacrifice made

Of the ones

Who came before

Nineteen sixty- five

Seventy-five, eighty-five

Ooh times movin' on

Nineteen ninety-five

Two-thousand-five

Two-thousand fifteen

Twenty twenty-one

Watchin' and waiting

Hopin' and praying

For the one I love

To come back home

Never forgetting

The sacrifice made

Of the ones

Who came before

Nineteen sixty-five

Seventy-five, eighty-five

Ooh time's movin' on

Nineteen ninety-five

Two-thousand five

Two-thousand fifteen

Twenty twenty-one

Yeah, I'll be waiting

Waiting with an

Open door
