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.
So 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 ,, family,
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 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 old 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.
