Song Title: "The Door"

LYRICS
--------------------------------

I don't know what to think when you say this to me
To cease all of my hate; to love all that I see
If I had the strength or courage at least for one
To touch the down and out, to embrace the lonely sons

If you'd open your heart just as you open a door
And reach out in love you could find something more

But how can this be -- the stubborn would take a knee
And forfeit their selfish needs; if only this could be

If you'd open your heart just as you open a door
And reach out in love you could find something more
From ends of the earth to your brothers at home
Give them your hand and let the broken be restored

I will give my life for change so you can live without fear and shame

But can you take the people around you and give up like He gave His life?
So give it to another and forget about the why

The why; you could lose yourself, forget your stubborn pride
Don't ask why. Just forget the wrong and open up your eyes

The music video is beautiful. Can you tell me the name of the software and camera you used?

[dsc106]

Final Cut Studio 2 for the video, Pro Tools for recording the song. Shot on the Panasonic HVX200. Thank you I'm glad you liked the video!

[brian8780]

wow, you guys sound EXACTLY like Coldplay. This song sounds just like one of their songs, I can't remember which one. Who did you get to film your video? Whoever it was must be professionals-it looks like it was done by a professional company.

[dsc106]

Well I don't know about exactly, but thank you for the compliment in any case! Actually I made the video myself, but again, thank you!
