Horizon Is a Open Door
“The first time we sang a chorus big enough to need the whole hall. That bad grammar in the title stayed because Tobias said it sounded like a real person's sign.”

Lyrics
We stood upon the edge of night With nothing but a spark We lit it with our trembling hands And held it to the dark The road was long, the maps were torn The wind was in our face But something in the distance Called us to a brighter place Lift your voice, lift your eyes Dawn is coming, dawn will rise The horizon is an open door Walk on through, walk on through There is light worth singing for Walk on through, walk on through Every step we take together Makes the morning bold and new The horizon is an open door And it is calling you We carried every friend we lost In songs we learned by heart We sang them over mountain passes Where the new days start No fear can hold a choir When the harmonies align Every voice a lantern In a single shining line Lift your voice, lift your eyes Dawn is coming, dawn will rise The horizon is an open door Walk on through, walk on through There is light worth singing for Walk on through, walk on through Every step we take together Makes the morning bold and new The horizon is an open door And it is calling you Hand in hand, and voice by voice We rise, we rise Let the whole wide world rejoice We rise, we rise No more shadows, no more doubt Open up and let us out The horizon is an open door Walk on through, walk on through There is light worth singing for Walk on through, walk on through Every step we take together Makes the morning bold and new The horizon is an open door And it is calling you It is calling you Walk on through
