Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This being human is a guesthouse
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
[Verse 2]
Welcome and entertain them all
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows
Who violently sweep your house
If, amidst furniture still
Treat each guest honorably
He may be clearing you out
For some new delight
[Verse 3]
The dark though, is a shame
The malice, meet them at the door laughin'
And invite them in, be grateful
For whoever comes
Because each has been sent as a guide
From beyond
Written by: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Will Champion
