Someone Is Standing Outside - Thelma Houston

My dad was a preacher

A plain self-taught teacher

The world was confusing for him

Just like you

A life simply led from

The book that he read

And he said something once

And I think 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

Someone is standing outside

Come presidents and statesmen

And TV debatesmen

Don’t throw that book away

It’s written for you

Live and let live

Love and be loved

Give and it shall be given

Why don’t you seek and you will find, oh yeah

Open the door to your heart and open it wide, 'cause

Somebody is standing outside
