It looked like they were slamming doors
Harshly on my face
It looked like they were throwing me out
And putting dogs on my chase
I ran, I left, I fled from them
Scared and feeling let down
And then I saw a rainbow ahead
Revealing gates to a brand new town
I walked in gingerly through the gates
Not knowing what to expect
Could this be a place, I might be treated
With love and with respect
The earth beneath my feet felt good
The wind caressed my face
Smiles and songs welcomed me
Into this unknown place
I paused, I sat, I stood, I danced
I could be true to myself here
I rejoiced that I had found a place
Where I could live without fear
I thanked those who had slammed doors
And had forced me to flee
I accept their gift as nudges of love
That helped in setting me free
