(intro)

Can't you hear him knocking
at your front door
He's been waiting patiently
for you to answer

If you don't hurry up
he might not wait no more
Why don't you go and see
what this man's after

(intro)

He keeps on a-knocking
why don't you let him in
Time is slipping by
the night is coming

If you don't hurry up
he might soon go away
If I was in your shoes
I'd start a-running

(intro)

Who is that knocking
Why is he there
It's got to be someone
who really cares

'Cause he's been standing
at the door most of the day
He must have an answer
don't let him get away

(intro)

Now you are standing
right near the front door
Unlock it and open it
wide to this man

Invite him inside
I'm sure you'll want him to stay
'Cause he is the answer
the truth and the way

(intro)

Who is that knocking
Why is he there
It's got to be someone
who really cares

'Cause he's been standing
at the door most of the day
He must have an answer
don't let him get away
