So, the tabernacle curtain ripped Over the pallor of your eyes; The wall of reliance has a crack, Every level has it's fault, Cement gives it strength. The foundation's well-worth building on. Leave the tools on site, Tomorrow make it right. An abandoned house, Whomever lived there, Collapses on itself. So, is this what the owner wanted? Brush on a new coat, Hang floor length drapes, Sweep away the refuse. Bestow a second chance On the sinner, Not the sin; On the wrong, Not the doer. Climb the steps again, And knock, Someone's in.

Knock, and Rap and Tap...
So, the tabernacle curtain ripped Over the pallor of your eyes; The wall of reliance has a crack, Every level has it's fault, Cement gives it strength. The foundation's well-worth building on. Leave the tools on site, Tomorrow make it right. An abandoned house, Whomever lived there, Collapses on itself. So, is this what the owner wanted? Brush on a new coat, Hang floor length drapes, Sweep away the refuse. Bestow a second chance On the sinner, Not the sin; On the wrong, Not the doer. Climb the steps again, And knock, Someone's in.
"Knock, Rap, and Tap" a phrase from an old song. Don't remember which one. I think it's "Until You Come Back to Me."
