If the World Was a House

It's crowded in the kitchen Everyone's trying to speak Everyone's got an opinion Everyone has a belief There's an elephant in every room No one's taking out the trash There's a million miles that come Between the front door and the back If the world was a house And it was on fire Would we just put it out Or let it burn higher? We wouldn't be strangers We wouldn't be enemies We'd run into danger I'd save you, you'd save me If the world was a house Secrets in the basement Closets full of rage This house is leaning right and left It's never stood up straight On the porch, they're prayin' to Jesus Upstairs they read the stars Looking for a hammer, looking for a nail To keep from falling apart If the world was a house And it was on fire Would we just put it out Or let it burn higher? We wouldn't be strangers We wouldn't be enemies We'd run into danger I'd save you, you'd save me If the world was a house If the world was a house We wouldn't be strangers We wouldn't be enemies We'd run into danger I'd save you, you'd save me If the world was a house If the world was a house
