Carrie Newcomer - When One Door Closes (another Door Opens Wide) lyrics

When one door closes another door opens wide

It's hard to believe all of the locked doors I've tried

And you can't pray for what you want or what you'd have instead

You can only offer up your heart and ask that you be led

Life's gonna take you, where you never thought you'd go

When you finally think you've got it down, It isn't so

There are windows and doors, you're not finished with yet

It's not always getting what you want, but wanting what you get

Chorus

It's not gettin' easier, so I'm not going to pretend

That I know this story from it's beginning to it's end

Oh believe me when I tell you, believe me if you can

If I could turn down the noise of my own will and choice

I could hear the truth of my life in a clear voice

I will bow down my head to the wisdom of my heart

Cool my heels and hold on to the best parts

Chorus
