Knocking

KNOCKING

INTRO:

ANOTHER SONG REJECTED
AFTER SIX MONTHS OF WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM
AND THEY SAY IT'S A GREAT SONG
WHEN ARE THESE INDUSTRY GATE KEEPERS EVER GONNA LET ME IN?

VERSE 1:

I REMEMBER BACK A LONG, LONG TIME AGO
ALL I HAD WAS SOME PAPER AND A PENCIL
AND I WOULD WRITE ABOUT THINGS
THAT WERE IN MY HEART
WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT
WHETHER IT WOULD CHART
AND NOW I'VE COME EVEN FARTHER ALONG
PRO SOUNDING MUSIC HERE
AND YA'LL STILL DOING ME WRONG
WHEN WILL YOU OPEN THE GATES
AND JUST LET ME IN
READY TO FINALLY WIN

CHORUS:

KEEP ON KNOCKING
YOU WON'T LET ME IN
WHEN WILL MY DESTINY BEGIN
I CAME OUT MY MOM'S WOMB WRITING SONGS
I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS WHERE I BELONG
KEEP ON KNOCKING
YOU WON'T LET ME IN
BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM TRYING
UNTIL THE DAY THAT I STOP BREATHING
UNTIL THE DOOR OPENS I'M JUST GONE
KEEP ON KNOCKING, KNOCKING

VERSE 2:

HERE I STRIVE TO MAKE
MUSIC MY FULLTIME JOB
WHILE I WORK THINKING ABOUT
WHO WILL TURN THE KNOB
TO THE DOOR ALL THESE YEARS
I WAIT TO WALK THROUGH
THAT'S UNLOCKED ONLY TO
A SELECTED FEW
WHEN WILL I FALL INTO THAT LOWER PERCENT
I HOPE IT HAPPENS BEFORE I CAN'T PAY MY RENT
YOU KEEP ON SEEKING
BUT ME YOU DON'T NEED TO FIND
I'M HERE TO CLAIM WHAT IS MINE
(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

I COULD BE 90 YEARS OLD
BUT MY MUSIC WILL NEVER GET OLD
YOU MAY BE IN DENIAL OF ME
BUT THE WORLD WILL STILL HAVE TO SEE
ME MUSICALLY
(CHORUS)
