Lyrics

THIS HOUSE OF MINE
BY: ANNA WOLFE

USED TO BE THE GRAY LIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW KEPT ME COMPANY
I STARED AT PAPER FLOWERS PEALING FROM THE WALL
USED TO BE THERE WERE ROTTEN HOLES IN THE WOODEN STAIRCASE
USED TO BE LITTLE LIGHT IN HERE AT ALL
USED TO BE NO RUNNING WATER
AND THE ELECTRIC WIRES WHERE ALWAYS ON THE FRITZ
BUT I KNEW THIS WAS THE ONLY HOUSE I?D EVER KNOW
SO I DECIDED TO FIX IT

CHORUS:
AND IN THIS HOUSE OF MINE
I FIXED IT ALL A LITTLE A TIME
HEALED EACH STEP AND WALKED UP WHERE
THE LIGHT CAME SHINING IN
THROUGH THE WINDOW IN THE ATTIC AND REMAINS
FOREVER SHINING IN, FOREVER SHINING IN
HEALING ALL THE CRACKS OF MY PAIN

I TORE THE RED ROSE PAPER DOWN FROM THE WALLS
SAID A THOUSAND PRAYERS
DID DID MY BEST TO WALK TALL
REPLREPLACED THE WIRES WHERE THE THEY WERE WEARING THIN
AND LET SOME FRIENDS COME IN

CHORUS

I DID MY BEST TO FIX MY HOUSE WITH HUMAN HANDS
TO MAKE IT CLEAN AND CLEAR
BUT I KNEW I NEEDED UNIVERSAL LOVE
TO SAVE THE GHOST IN MY MIRROR
SO I ASKED GOD TO COME INSIDE
AND LIVE WITH ME
IN MY BROKEN HOUSE
AND NOW MY DWELLING STANDS SO BRIGHT AND NEW
MY CASTLE GOLD AND PROUD

BRIDGE:
OH TRANSFORM ME RENEW ME
SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
MAKE ME BELIEVE IN
SOMETHING MORE THAN GRIEF
OH RELEASE ME AND FREE ME
HELP ME TO BE ME
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE IN

CHORUS
