The Open Window
Lyrics
Text: Toni Thomas Music: Diane Tuiofu
Verse one
Standing by my window
I watch dark streets below.
A thousand downcast faces pass
Beneath the streetlamp's glow
Can any of them tell me?
Do any of them know?
Verse two
I read the Holy Bible;
I try to live God's way.
Yet still there's something missing;
Though what I cannot say.
I know I must keep searching;
I kneel to God and pray:
Chorus
Please send me someone
Who knows the reason why.
Why I'm here;
What happens when I die.
I know there must be more
Than I see before my eyes.
Please send me someone, I pray.
Verse three
Tonight beside my window,
I watch the sky turn gray
I wonder in the silence why
I'm drawn here every day.
Yet a still, unspoken whisper
Tells me he's on his way.
Repeat Chorus
Please send me someone,
And let it be today.
"'The Open Window' is a plea from one who is searching for truth, for someone to bring the needed answers" (Toni Thomas). The Lord has said, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering..." (James 1:5-6).
