Fountain And Vine lyrics

open your shelters and let us all in
tired and homeless and hungry again
outside my window at fountain & vine
drunks and addicts are forming a line

sharing their stories to comfort despair
carry the weight of the crosses they bare
praying for courage and wisdom to change
serenity cost more that pocket book change

i want to tear down the walls
and shatter the image that falls
i want to turn all the tables
and give back what doesn`t belong to me

sleeping on sidewalks is how people live
begging for something noone wants to give
size of your wealth is a bottle of wine
sipped with your friends you`ll soon leave behind

are your children in flames?
incarcerated and bound by the chain?
strangers paralyze
down in the gutters of fountain & vine

feel like running away
tired of seeing them falling aside
there`s no running away

i want to tear it all down
build it all up from the ground
i want to tear down the wall
and shatter, the image, that falls on me

the view from down here
brings mention to mind
everything`s sacred on fountain & vine
