[Verse 1]
You shut the last blue page
Vikings under your thumb
Pirates folded away
Dragons finally gone
Knights with broken shields
A unicorn ran past
You chased it through the grass
And came home out of breath
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama lifts the quilt
Papa dims the hall
One small lamp goes dark
And the room gets tall
Your eyes stay open
At the edge of sleep
Then the window clicks
And the story keeps
[Chorus]
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Your stories live
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Let them run free
[Verse 2]
A longship on the sill
Snow on a paper hill
A pirate in the tree
And a dragon circling still
The knight taps your glass
With a chipped brass smile
The unicorn comes back
Just to stay a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama lifts the quilt
Papa dims the hall
One small lamp goes dark
And the room gets tall
Your eyes stay open
At the edge of sleep
Then the window clicks
And the story keeps
[Chorus]
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Your stories live
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Let them run free
[Bridge]
Not every hunt comes home
Not every map is true
But the moon knows your name
And it’s looking too
So lay your fears down slow
On the pillow seam
The page still breathes for you
If you keep the dream
[Final Chorus]
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Your stories live
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Let them run free
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Your stories live
Open up, little door
Open up, little door
Let them run free
