Close Every Door to Me

Close every door to me
 Hide all the world from me
 Bar all the windows
 And shut out the light
 Do what you want with me
 Hate me and laugh at me
 Darken my daytime
 And torture my night
 If my life were important, I
 Would ask will I live or die
 But I know the answers lie
 Far from this world
 Close every door to me
 Keep those I love from me
 Children of Israel
 Are never alone
 For I know I shall find
 My own peace of mind
 For I have been promised
 A land of my own
 Just give me a number
 Instead of my name
 Forget all about me
 And let me decay
 I do not matter
 I'm only one person
 Destroy me completely
 Then throw me away
 If my life were important, I
 Would ask will I live or die
 But I know the answers lie
 Far from this world
 Close every door to me
 Keep those I love from me
 Children of Israel
 Are never alone
 For we know we shall find
 Our own peace of mind
 For we have been promised
 A land of our own
