Every wall's a window

Glass house, glass house, goes 'round and 'round

Sooner or later, glass house, we'll come crashing down...



I paid my rent for so many years

and I paid my rent with so many tears

just so I could live in a house of glass

that had no yard, had no green grass

It had no bushes, it had no tree's

My glass house had none of these

All my house had was pain and sorrow

I'd beg, steal or borrow just to get me to tomorrow

and when tomorrow came, it was more of the same

Self-destruction has no name...self-destruction has no shame

On the inside lookin' out, movin' backwards full-throttle

Every wall's a window when you live inside a bottle

It was a temporary move but then it opened up a flood

My landlord was the Demon and I signed a lease in blood

"From now until forever" is how the lease read

and the only way I'd move, he said, is stone-cold dead

I can't remember day-for-day how long I actually stayed

but I recall the end of fall when I cried out loud and prayed

The end of my fall, and the beginning of my spring

as I leaped into the love my Lord promised he would bring

He granted me forgiveness, he showed me truth and offered grace

He helped me move away from that frightening place

I used to pray as a child, but I never understood

until I truly saw my Lord, and saw my Lord was good

A new lease on life is what Christ promised me

I'm alive, I am saved, I am happy, I am free
