"If The World Was A House" lyrics

It's crowded in the kitchen
Everyone's trying to speak
Everyone's got an opinion
Everyone has a belief
There's an elephant in every room
No one's taking out the trash
There's a million miles that come between
The front door and the back

If the world was a house
And it was on fire
Would we just put it out
Or let it burn higher?
We wouldn't be strangers
We wouldn't be enemies
We'd run into danger
I'd save you, you'd save me
If the world was a house

Secrets in the basement
Closets full of rage
This house is leaning right and left
It's never stood up straight
On the porch they're praying to Jesus
Upstairs they read the stars
Lookin' for a hammer
Lookin' for a nail
To keep from falling apart

If the world was a house
And it was on fire
Would we just put it out
Or let it burn higher?
We wouldn't be strangers
We wouldn't be enemies
We'd run into danger
I'd save you, you'd save me
If the world was a house

If the world was a house
We wouldn't be strangers
We wouldn't be enemies
We'd run into danger
I'd save you
You'd save me
If the world was house
