Today the world is loudly present
Look around and see the noise
We try to block it out with laughter
It serves to scare the girls and boys
Seeking quiet, shelter, peace
Seems so easy, unplug yourself
Open up your mind and heart
Listen closely on your knees
"Invite me in," he says again
"Invite me in, I want to speak"
We hear the knockings, grab the handle
Almost turn it, letting him in
But our hesitation is folly
He can only wait so long
When we turn the handle, finally
We look upon an empty stoop
Reduce the sounds, turn them down
Notes and frequencies alike
Shut it off and look away
Allow yourself to feel the might
