Locked Doors
Fifteen years have passed
He’s still getting it wrong.
In and out of trouble
From dusk to dawn.
He still think’s like a child
While trying to be manly
Continues to put on a front
After abandoning his family.
His children are young
They don’t understand why.
Why, their Daddy continues
To lie and deny.
There have been many times
He claims he’s found his Lord.
When they begin to trust him
He ends up locked behind doors.
His life is still shattered
Lord, will you help him
Find the hope and courage
To unlock the doors?
