Thelma Houston - Someone Is Standing Outside

My dad's just a preacher, a plain self-taught teacher
The world`s more confusing for him than for you
He`s not well read, perhaps not well bred
But he said something once and I think it was true

Live and let live, love and be loved
Give and it shall be given
Seek and you will find, oh yes
Open the door to your heart and open it wide
Someone is standing outside

Come diplomat statesmen and learned debatesmen
If you don`t throw the book away they`ll throw it at you
Come on butchers and bakers and revolutions makers
There`s one thing unwritten that might still be true

Live and let live, love and be loved
Give and it shall be given
Seek and you will find, oh yes, you will
Open the door to your heart and open it wide
Someone is standing outside
Someone is standing outside
In the pouring rain
Someone is standing outside
Can you ease the pain?
Someone is standing outside
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Someone is standing outside
Won`t you just open the door to your heart
and let him in?
Someone
Someone
Someone is standing outside
