If These Walls Could Talk

If houses tell stories

I wonder about these walls of yours and mine

They could repeat any number of things

They've heard and seen in their time

All of the angry words spoken

Then the silence that follows for days

All that leaves a home feeling broken

Lord, if these walls could talk, they'd pray

If love lived here you couldn't tell

Five thousand square feet of living hell

And two hearts that need to be saved

It all died here of pure neglect

Is it too dead to resurrect?

Lord, if these walls could talk, they'd pray

Two little hands folded tight by her bedside

Asking Jesus, "Will my family be okay?"

A child of five is just too small

Her prayers alone can't save us all

Lord, if these walls could talk, they'd pray

If love lived here you couldn't tell

Five thousand square feet of living hell

And two hearts that need to be saved

It all died here of pure neglect

Is it too dead to resurrect?

Lord, if these walls could talk, they'd pray

Lord, if these walls could talk, they'd pray
