Shining Through The Door Lyrics

Circle Jerks

never mind how i got all that money
money doesn't buy me peace of mind
never mind that i can't find a reason
reason doesn't ease these troubled times

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door

every time i try to find a purpose
purpose seems to turn to disarray
every time i try to find a meaning
meaning wants to just slip away

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door
the door... shining through the door
the door... shining through the door

sometimes it's sad
sometimes it's funny
we have the power to elevate ourselves
so i guess we have to keep on going
as dust keeps building layers on our shelves
we have the power to elevate ourselves

never mind how i got all of that money
money doesn't buy me peace of mind
never mind that i can't find a reason
reason doesn't ease these troubled times

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door
shining through the door
through the door
shining through the door
shining through the door
shining <i>[x5]
keep on shining through the door
