¶Lyrics / Text

I am the Son of God in the door, I am in the door, let me in. I am the Son of God in the door, I am in the door, open thou and let me in. I am the Gift, I am the Poor, I am the Man of this night. I am the Son of God in the door, I am in the door, open thou and let me in. Son of the moon, Son of the sun, Great Son of Mary of God-like mind. I am the Son of God in the door, I am in the door, open thou and let me in.
