Thelma Houston Someone Is Standing Outside (feat. Jimmy Webb)
[Verse 1]
My dad was a preacher
A plain self-taught teacher
The world was confusing for him
Just like you
[Verse 2]
A life simply led from
The book that he read
And he said something once
And I think it was true
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Come presidents and statesmen
And TV debatesmen
Don't throw that book away
It's written for you
[Chorus]
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
