House of Their Dreams

The corner office was his dream

More like a prison now it seems

Somewhere on the corporate climb

He left his warrior behind

Now he is just a worker at a daily grind

He steels his years and numbs his mind

His strength is fading his dreams are bind

Cause this is not the life he had in mind

She lies awake because he's up all night

Looking at a screen that tells him lies

But the grass is greener on the other side

So she's at the gym fighting off the years

To be young again and calm her fears

That she'd never be enough for him

Just as a young man catches her eye

Now they are trapped in their own worlds

With their wars

With their cell phones

And their closed doors

It's funny how quiet it peceful that seems

But their all alone together

In the house of their dreams

Little sister she's

A sixteen year old princess

Lost somewhere between the swing set

And a brand new crush his chariot awaits

And the brother's room is glowing

With trophy's to shout his name

But he trade all his high school fame

For some back yard catch with his hero again

Now they are trapped in their own worlds

With their wars

With their cell phones

And their closed doors

It's funny how quiet it peceful that seems

But their all alone together

In the house of their dreams

So now there all dressed up in Sunday best

Sit up strangers like the rest

Sing of songs of peace and rest

That Jesus freely gives

The kids look up as daddy stands

Takes his bride with trembling hands

Brother kneels at his father's side;

Princess looks in her momma's eyes

The tears tear down the walls

As daddy prays

But trapped in our own worlds

And our own wars

With our cell phones

And our closed doors

God only you can save our family

And now on this Rock we'll build

On this Rock we'll build

The house of our dreams
