One Small Turn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There’s a door in front of me I stop and let it be Paint chipped at the edge A hush behind the frame It could be closed up tight It could be made of light I don’t need to force it I just need to name it [Pre-Chorus] Do I need courage? Do I need time? Do I need your hand Before I make it mine? I can stand here softly I can wait and see One small breath, one small step Is enough for me [Chorus] What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? If it’s fear, I can hold you If it’s grief, I can know What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? I won’t break it wide open I’ll go slow [Verse 2] Behind it есть a memory A hope I’ve set aside A younger voice in shadow That still won’t let me by Maybe it needs safety Maybe it needs rest Maybe it needs patience And a beating, tender chest [Pre-Chorus] Do I need courage? Do I need time? Do I need your hand Before I make it mine? I can stand here softly I can wait and see One small breath, one small step Is enough for me [Chorus] What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? If it’s fear, I can hold you If it’s grief, I can know What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? I won’t break it wide open I’ll go slow [Bridge] Maybe the lock is lonely Maybe the key is love Maybe the whole first answer Is just not doing too much So I leave it in the morning I leave it by the rain And I let my hands remember They were never made to strain [Final Chorus] What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? If it’s fear, I can hold you If it’s grief, I can know What thought keeps this door closed? What thought keeps this door closed? I won’t break it wide open I’ll go slow
