The Locksmith
[Intro]
Show me a lock ...
And I’ll show you a key
[Verse]
Show me the title and deeds
And let’s call that an estate
Show me the boundary line
And let’s call that fate
Show me every unseen moment
And let’s call that history
Show me the lock you built
And it’ll still be...
A complete mystery
[Bridge]
Show me, don’t tell me
Thats the key to success
The lock is not prejudiced
Nor easily impressed
Show me don’t tell me
The lock can discern
If you are the one
Who can make the key turn
[Chorus]
The lock never changes
It's the key that must form
The process begins
The day you are born
Each test you have faced
Every truth you’ve embraced
Each pattern you traced
Was quietly leading you home
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Show me every lie you followed
And we’ll call that a trajectory
Show me every battle you’ve fought
And we’ll call that ideology
Show me every field you scorched
And let's count what still remains
Show me every tear you’ve cried
That words could not explain
[Bridge]
A lock That does not listen.
A lock that cannot be bought
A lock that isn’t prejudiced.
A lock that cannot be taught
A lock that cannot be deceived
A lock that can never change
Now here’s the kicker
There was only ever
One key…
Ain’t that strange.
[Chorus]
The lock never changes
It's the key that must form
The process begins
The day you are born
Each test you have faced
Every truth you’ve embraced
Each pattern you traced
Was quietly leading you home
[Outro]
Welcome home.
