Song Lyrics

I was down for so long
Everything I did was wrong
And I found fault
In everyone but me

I was hurt and alone
I could not find my way home
Broke-down and hungry
Too tired to moan

Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open, yes it was

I was trapped in my mind
A prisoner of my own design
Lost in a world
In a world of confusion

I was there by myself
Couldn't find no help nowhere else
Thought I'd call up the hotline
But there was nobody there

Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
And I found out that the door was always open, yes it was

Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open, oh yeah
[Incomprehensible]

Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
And I found out that the door was always open

Heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open, yes it was

Yeah, I found out that the door was always open, say it again
You know that I found out that the door was always open, oh yeah
