From the liner notes:
At the top of the stairs he finds a chamber. It is almost a hemisphere with a great many doors all the way round its circumference.
There is a large crowd, huddled in various groups. From the shouting, Rael learns that there are 32 doors, but only one that leads out. Their voi...
[Verse 1]
At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people
Running around to all the doors
They try to find, find themselves an audience
Their deductions need applause
[Pre-Chorus]
The rich man stands in front of me
The poor man behind my back
They believe they can control the game
But the juggler holds another pack
[Chorus]
I need someone to believe in
Someone to trust
I need someone to believe in
Someone to trust
[Verse 2]
I'd rather trust a countryman than a town man
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard, survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield when you're out in the field
[Bridge]
But down here
I'm so alone with my fear
With everything that I hear
And every single door
That I've walked through
Brings me back, back here again
I've got to find my own way
[Verse 3]
The priest and the magician
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard
And they're all calling out my name
Even academics, searching printed word
[Pre-Chorus]
My father to the left of me
My mother to the right
Like everyone else, they're pointing
But nowhere feels quite right
[Chorus]
And I need someone to believe in
Someone to trust
I need someone to believe in
Someone to trust
[Verse 4]
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound
If I choose a side, he won't take me for a ride
[Outro]
Back inside
This chamber of so many doors
I've nowhere, nowhere to hide
I'd give you all of my dreams
If you'd help me
Find a door that doesn't lead me back again
Take me away
