“Walk through the door, go find what you’re looking for
When you’re ready to go
When you leave, don’t worry for me
For I have learned to let go …”
There’s a house our family lived in when I was a kid. It was a tumultuous time, a turning point, in which we weren’t entirely sure where we would end up once the turning stopped. But for two years, we lived in this house, we figured things out, found some stability, and when we moved out, we were on our way somewhere great. We had made it, at least through that.
From time to time, when I remember those years, I’ve wondered how that house would have told the story? It had been present to several other families through the years, what story would it have told about us? What if the stationary objects of our lives could reflect back to us the journeys we’d made, not in steps, but in time?
That was the starting point for this song … Walk Through the Door.
