Casting Crowns - House Of Their Dreams Lyrics
A corner office was his dreamMore like a prison now it seemsSomewhere on the corporate climbHe left his warrior behindNow hes just a worker at a daily grindSteals his years and numbs his mindHis strength is fading, his dreams are blindThis is not the life he had in mindShe lies awake cause hes up all nightStaring at a screen that tells him liesThat the grass is greener on the other sideSo shes at the gym fighting off the yearsTo be young again and calm her fearsThat shell never be enough for himJust as a young man catches her eyeNow they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own warsWith their cell phones and the closed doorsIts funny how quiet and peaceful that it seemsBut they're all alone togetherIn the house of their dreamsLittle sister, shes a sixteen-year-old princessLost somewhere between the swing setAnd her brand new crushs chariot awaitsAnd big brothers rooms glowing with trophies that shout his nameBut he'd trade all his high school fameFor some backyard catch with his hero againSo now they're all dressed up in Sunday bestSit up straight just like the restAnd they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely givesAnd then their kids look up as daddy standsAnd he takes his bride with trembling handsBrother kneels at his fathers side as princess looks in the mothers eyesTheir tears tear down the walls as daddy praysWere trapped in our own worlds and our own warsWith our cell phones and our closed doorsGod, only You can save our familyAnd on this Rock, well buildOn this Rock, well buildThe house of our dreams
