Close Every Door

                                  Close every door to me

Hide all the world from me

Bar all the windows and shut out the light

Do what you want with me 

Hate me and laugh at me 

Darken my daytime and torture my night



If my life were important I

Would ask will I live or die

But I know the answers lie far from this world



Close every door to me 

Keep those I love from me

Children of Israel are never alone

For I know I shall find

My own peace of mind

For I have been promised a land of my own



Just give me a number

Instead of my name

Forget all about me and let me decay

I do not matter

I'm only one person

Destroy me completely then throw me away



If my life were important I 

Would ask will I live or die

But I know the answers lie far from this world

Close every door to me

Keep those I love from me

Children of Israel are never alone



For we know we shall find

Our own peace of mind

For we have been promised a land of our own
