The Key in the Lock

[Intro]
[Verse]
The nightlight casts a golden glow
Down the hallway where you go
Little dreamer in your bed
Rest your heavy little head
I'm sitting with a chipped mug now
Wiping sweat from off my brow
The silence is a holy sound
Now that we are safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the paper in my hand
Finally a place to stand
No more bags packed by the door
We don't live there anymore
No more running from the light
We can sleep through the night
[Chorus]
Oh, the Lord has heard my cry
Wiped the tears from out my eye
We got a roof, we got a key
Just for you and just for me
Stable ground beneath our feet
The victory is tasting sweet
Yeah, we made it through the storm
And the coffee’s staying warm
[Post-Chorus]
Hallelujah in the dark
Found a fire from a spark
Yeah, we're home
Finally home
Oh, finally home
[Verse]
The trombone moans a low refrain
To wash away the years of rain
I remember every floor
Sleeping by a stranger's door
But the B3 organ starts to swell
Ringing like a silver bell
The guitar hums a fuzzy tune
Underneath the rising moon
[Chorus]
Oh, the Lord has heard my cry
Wiped the tears from out my eye
We got a roof, we got a key
Just for you and just for me
Stable ground beneath our feet
The victory is tasting sweet
Yeah, we made it through the storm
And the coffee’s staying warm
[Bridge]
It wasn't luck, it wasn't fate
I just had to learn to wait
Through the winters and the cold
Now I've got a hand to hold
This paycheck is a holy sign
Everything is gonna be fine
I can pay the light bill now
I can make a solemn vow
[Hook]
No more moving
No more losing
Just the light
In the night
[Chorus]
Oh, the Lord has heard my cry
Wiped the tears from out my eye
We got a roof, we got a key
Just for you and just for me
Stable ground beneath our feet
The victory is tasting sweet
Yeah, we made it through the storm
And the coffee’s staying warm
[Outro]
