I have stood in a lot of doorways
Where they wished that I would leave
Felt a whole room turn to winter
From the second I'd appear
They would look right through a man like me
As if I wasn't there
Like I never paid my way in
Like I didn't breathe the air
They never set a place for me at the table
Left me standing in the cold beside the door
But I taught myself to carry my own welcome
And I don't come knocking anymore
No I don't come knocking anymore
I had to be twice as steady just to stand on level ground
Had to swallow what they handed me and never make a sound
They would save the back row for me let me wait 'til they were through
But a man can keep his name clean when there's nothing else to do
They never set a place for me at the table
Left me standing in the cold beside the door
But I taught myself to carry my own welcome
And I don't come knocking anymore
No I don't come knocking anymore
You can leave me off your guest list
You can lock your fancy gate
But you cannot touch the man in here and you will not make me hate
I have always known my worth even when you wouldn't show
So I built myself a table where the likes of me can go
Now
I set a place for everybody at my table
Ain't a soul gonna freeze out in the cold beside my door
'Cause I know just how it feels to need a welcome
So nobody's gotta knock here anymore
No nobody's gotta knock here anymore
There's a place for you at my table
You don't have to knock anymore
