First Door Open — A Song Inspired by Yoane Wissa scores twice as DR Congo earns its first World Cup win

[Verse 1]
The shirts were blue in the heat of the day
Dust on the boot and a drum far away
Everybody knew what the old wall said
First ones wait with a stone on their chest

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the ball found a foot, then the foot found fire
Then the whole place climbed one note higher

[Chorus]
First door open, let the daylight through
First door open, hear the roof come loose
We were knocking with our knuckles, we were laughing at the lock
Now the hinges know our names when the blue shirts rock
First door open, first door open
Nobody can close what the whole crowd woke

[Verse 2]
Wissa hit twice like a bell in the street
Two bright sparks under everybody's feet
Mothers in kitchens, drivers at lights
Throwing up hands at the edge of the night

[Pre-Chorus]
All those almosts turning into song
All those long roads finding where they belong

[Chorus]
First door open, let the daylight through
First door open, hear the roof come loose
We were knocking with our knuckles, we were laughing at the lock
Now the hinges know our names when the blue shirts rock
First door open, first door open
Nobody can close what the whole crowd woke

[Bridge]
Tell the old scoreboard it can learn a new tongue
Tell the tired trumpet that the morning is young
Tell the locked room we are done standing still
We came up dancing from the far side hill

[Lead Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
First door open, let the daylight through
First door open, hear the roof come loose
We were knocking with our knuckles, we were laughing at the lock
Now the hinges know our names when the blue shirts rock
First door open, first door open
Nobody can close what the whole crowd woke
