Beautiful Door

Maybe I'm crazy
And maybe I'm blind
'Cause I can't understand
The kind of mind

That kills for god
Or money or the land
It just seems odd
To take that kind of stand

Some on the east side
Some on the west
Who think that somehow
Their way is best

But there are some
There in the middle
Whose lives have come
To mean so little

You can preach all you want to
And make up forever more
I know you want to walk into another world
But I don't see no beautiful door

I can't help myself
I like this place
And leaving's not a thing
I want to face

But those who want to go
Knock yourselves out
Just don't take those
Who don't care about

Your power dreams
And your golden gates
'Cause I hear their screams
As you deal their fates

You'll never kill this world
But I am afraid
That you'll take away
Those you say god made

You can preach all you want to
And make up forever more
I know you want to walk into another world
But I don't see no beautiful door

I know you want to walk into another world
But I don't see no beautiful door
You say you want to talk about a better world
But you've closed that beautiful door
