Intro
Come here. I'm here. Are you there? Three small prayers we all share.
Verse 1
Before a word becomes a word, there is a pulse beneath the tongue, a picture leaning toward the nerve, a bell that has not yet been rung. What if I handed you the sea without the syllable for blue? Would you receive the waves in me, or only make them part of you?
Chorus
Knock before entering my mind, come close, but leave me something behind. No lock can teach a heart to trust; love needs a border it can cross. Knock before entering my mind, ask me, and I will meet you inside.
Verse 2
A frightened child could send the ache before they learn what hurt is called. A dying friend could leave a shape no photograph could hold at all. But mercy has a shadow side: the boss who calls a closed door guilt, the lover asking, "What d'you hide?" as if refusal means betrayal built.
Chorus
Knock before entering my mind, come close, but leave me something behind. No lock can teach a heart to trust; love needs a border it can cross. Knock before entering my mind, ask me, and I will meet you inside.
Verse 3
If memory can travel clean, who gets to name what happened first? If fear arrives without a scene, can one small panic flood the earth? A copied smile, a borrowed grief, a childhood changed by one detail; when feeling outruns our belief, which part is witness, which is tale?
Bridge
Maybe language was not a wall. Maybe language was a handrail. Maybe distance kept us kind, gave us seconds to decide which thought should live outside.
Verse 4
Two minds can touch and not become a single room with one command. The deepest bond is not to run through doors that open when we demand. I do not love you less because some rooms in me remain unnamed. Consent is not the end of us; it is the way two souls stay two.
Chorus
Knock before entering my mind, come close, but leave me something behind. No lock can teach a heart to trust; love needs a border it can cross. Knock before entering my mind, ask me, and I will meet you there.
