I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colors when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time
I feel loved
I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me
When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time
I feel love
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Ho
My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold
He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Ho ho
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colors when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time
I feel loved
I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me
When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time
I feel love
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Ho
My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold
He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Ho ho
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love

Yes, Leonni is right.
But there´s one point you haven´t touched. When he says "I left by the back door and I threw away the keys" means that God has opened Heaven to him... but he has refused it... he still can´t accept... he still haven´t saved his soul.. he still haven´t found what he´s looking for...
@FelipeVox I think throwing away the keys is a reference to the typical, human feeling that we can never be worthy of what God offers us, and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for our sins.
