《Knocking on Heaven's Door》的歌詞如下：
Moon is up
The stars are bright
I'm knocking on heaven's door
The world I left
It's far behind
But it's still in my heart
Knocking on heaven's door
With all the pain
With all the pain
In my head
It's been a long time
Since I've been alone
I'm knocking on heaven's door
It's been a long road
And it seems to me
That I'm still on my own
Knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on heaven's door
Oh, yeah
It's been a long time
Since I touched love
But there was never anyone like you
It seems that everywhere
I go there's nothing here
To help me find some relief
Oh yeah
And if there is an answer
I believe there is a chance for me
Oh, there's nothing else to believe in
I must believe in what I dream
Oh yeah
Knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on heaven's door
Oh yeah
Knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on... yeah...
這首歌是由Bob Dylan創作，最初是用於紀念約翰·列儂逝世的紀念。歌曲用憂鬱哀怨的筆觸描繪了主人孤獨迷茫的情感，使人感嘆生命如夢幻泡影。其中的副歌部分則是Bob Dylan曾經朗誦過的自己創作的詩作。當這段詩歌出現在歌詞中時，它以一種新的形式賦予了這首詩新的生命，也賦予了這首歌新的意義。
