OPEN THE GATE


Open the gate; father.
                                    Let me in.

I want to come home.
                                    Forgive my sin.

My life was hard and short.
                                    Don't make me suffer anymore.

I did my best in the time I had.
                                     Please don't hold my failures against me.

How long must I stand here and plea?
                                     They always taught me you hated tears.

Am I so unlovable that you will turn from me?
                                      If you cast me aside, where will I go from here?

I am your child, weak and oh, so flawed.
                                      Can you not take pity on me?

Open the gate; father.
                                        Give me another chance.
