House Of Their Dreams

A corner office was his dream

More like a prison now it seems Somewhere on the corporate climb

He left his warrior behind Now hes just a worker at a daily grind

Steals his years and numbs his mind His strength is fading, his dreams are blind

This is not the life he had in mind

She lies awake cause hes up all night

Staring at a screen that tells him lies That the grass is greener on the other side So shes at the gym fighting off the years

To be young again and calm her fears That shell never be enough for him Just as a young man catches her eye

Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars With their cell phones and the closed doors It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems But they're all alone together In the house of their dreams

Little sister, shes a sixteen-year-old princess

Lost somewhere between the swing set And her brand new crushs chariot awaits And big brothers rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name But he'd trade all his high school fame For some backyard catch with his hero again

Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars With their cell phones and the closed doors It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems But they're all alone together In the house of their dreams

So now they're all dressed up in sunday best Sit up straight just like the rest And they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gives

And then their kids look up as daddy stands

And he takes his bride with trembling hands Brother kneels at his fathers side as princess looks in the mothers eyes Their tears tear down the walls as daddy prays

Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars With their cell phones and the closed doors It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems But they're all alone together In the house of their dreams
