Open

Standing at the altar With his bride to be beside Through the stained glass window Came down a beam of light The weight of the commitment Poured over him with fear Like ice cream in a filling Now the future's finally here His soul had been replenished By the words the vicar read The organist dissected All the pieces she'd been fed Open your hands Where once was a steeple Then look within At all of the people Family and friends In this congregation Open your heart To this celebration The choir pitched in early As his heart began to rip His anxiety was swollen With the quiver of a lip He looked around the chapel Seeing everybody there He slowly fell to pieces and was only too aware The vows were something special So much deeper than he'd thought Commitment bound in footsteps That would be a lifelong walk Standing in the picture with his family all around Proud to see their Father Finally put the anchor down She had offered amnesty for a multitude of sins Through the stained glass window her love shone down on him
