Everyones life is bittersweet
It's a door that opens wide
And no man can call himself complete

Till he's seen it from both sides

This door swings both ways

It's marked 'In' and 'Out'
Some days you'll want to cry
And some days you will shout


This door swings both ways
It goes back and forth

In comes a southern breeze
Or a cold wind from the north


This door swings both ways
Lets in joy and pain
In comes the morning sun

And then the evening rain

This door swings both ways

Lets in dark and light
Every day you make the choice
To let in wrong or right


When shadows fall
You must prepare yourself for sunshine

For everything there is an end
And so my friend you must be brave


This door swings both ways
Which one will it be
Will we live in happiness

Or dwell in misery

This door swings both ways

Lets in earth and sky
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die

Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die
