My best dressed preacher, a plain self-taught teacher
The world's more confusing for him than for you
He's not well-read and perhaps not well-bred
But he said something once, and I believe it was true
Live and let live
Love and be loved
Give, and it shall be given
Seek and you will find, oh yeah
Open the door to your heart and open it wide
Oh, someone is standing outside
I'm a diplomat, a statesman, and learned debates man
If you don't throw the book away, they'll throw it at you
Come on, butchers, and bakers, and revolution makers
There's one thing long written that might still be true
Live and let live
Love and be loved
Give, and it shall be given
If you seek, then, you will find
Open the door to your heart and open it wide
'Cause someone (someone) is standing outside
In the pouring rain, someone is standing outside
Can you ease the pain?
'Cause someone is standing outside
Would you just open the door to your heart
Because someone is standing-?
I said, "Someone, someone, someone is standing outside"
I know that someone is standing outside
