Layoffs and payoffs
Seem to have a way
Of pulling out the rug
When you plan to stay

When you look to move on
To a great new job
Fate intervenes
And you feel you’ve been robbed

The promotion you’ve earned
Goes to someone else
How do you maintain
The confidence in yourself?

(Chorus)
When one door closes
Another opens up
Don’t hit the panic button
Before your time is up
A day full of rain
Will soon turn bright
At the end of the tunnel
You’ll always see the light


The girl that you love
Goes and breaks your heart
She dumps you for another
And that’s just the start

She takes your furniture
Then wants you back
You’re going from a migraine
To a heart attack

Like a yoyo
Dangling on a string
The emotional chaos
Turns summer into spring

(Chorus)
When one door closes
Another opens up
Don’t hit the panic button
Before your time is up
A day full of rain
Will soon turn bright
At the end of the tunnel
You’ll always see the light


When a great opportunity
Comes your way
Shout carpe diem
And seize the day

The one that passed
Wasn’t meant to be
The one that’s here
Is your destiny

The silver lining
Is on every cloud
Don’t ever give up
It is simply not allowed

(Chorus)
When one door closes
Another opens up
Don’t hit the panic button
Before your time is up
A day full of rain
Will soon turn bright
At the end of the tunnel
You’ll always see the light
