THE YELLOW DOOR

Full lyrics as written by Nick

There were years I didn’t know what peace meant
Held my breath, played small, staying silent
Keep walking on eggshells more and more
I kept dreaming of a yellow door

Now it stands, bold, bright and new
Freshly painted with a golden hue
My boy runs through it, barefoot and free
That’s what love is supposed to be

The yellow door – it opens wide
To a house where I no longer hide
No more tiptoes, no more fear
Just light, and space, and being here

They taught me how to stay too long
To mistake control for keeping strong
But I chose truth, I chose my name
I chose a life they couldn’t tame

The yellow door – it opens wide
To a place where peace can now abide
Where quiet doesn’t mean alone
And safety isn’t something I postpone

Sometimes I hear echoes from before
But they stop right at the yellow door
Because this home is mine – made with care
And everything I am, is welcome here

The yellow door – it holds the line
Between the past and what is mine
No more running, no pretend
This is where the breaking ends

And where the real life starts once more
Behind the yellow door

There were years I didn’t know
what peace meant
Held my breath,
played small, staying silent
Keep walking on eggshells
more and more
I kept dreaming of
a yellow door

Now it stands, bold,
bright and new
Freshly painted
with a golden hue
My boy runs through it,
barefoot and free
That’s what love
is supposed to be

The yellow door
it opens wide
To a house where
I no longer hide
No more tiptoes
no more fear
Just light, and space
and being here

They taught me how
to stay too long
To mistake control
for keeping strong
But I chose truth
I chose my name
I chose a life they
couldn’t tame

The yellow door
it opens wide
To a place where peace
can now abide
Where quiet
doesn’t mean alone
And safety isn’t
something I postpone

Sometimes I hear
echoes from before
But they stop
right at the yellow door
Because this home is mine
made with care
And everything I am
is welcome here

The yellow door
it holds the line
Between the past
and what is mine
No more running
no pretend
This is where
the breaking ends

And where the real life
starts once more
Behind the yellow door
