Kaitie says: Glen taught me his new song while we stood together in line for dinner at Song Village in 2018; he had just come back from Peru and this song had come to him during his travels. Since then, the song has been traveling the world, just like Glen. His generosity with his songs stays with me, and encourages me to open the door of my own heart as well.

Glen is a California based singer and songwriter, best known as the lead singer and songwriter for the band Toad the Wet Sprocket. Glen is an amazing solo musician as well, and dearly loved within the community singing world.

Lyrics:

Part 1:
Abre la puerta, abre la puerta
Abre la puerta, abre la puerta
(translation: open the door, open the door)

Part 2:
Que entre la vida
Que entre el sol
Que entre la tierra
En el corazón
(translation: that life may enter/that sunshine may enter/that earth may enter/into the heart)

Part 3: (Bridge)
Somos los ojos, los ojos de Dios
Somos los ojos, los ojos de Dios
(translation: we are the eyes, the eyes of God)

Lai dai dai-yai-dai
Lai dai-yai-dai
Lai dai dai-yai

Please note I accidentally recorded Part 4 before Part 3… this is not the map we’ll follow for our arrangement but it will at least be something you can learn the parts from and we’ll assemble it together in rehearsal!
