HOUSE OF THEIR DREAMS by CASTING CROWNS: LYRICS & CHORDS

VERSE 1:

 

D

A corner office was his dream

 

More like a prison now it seems

G

Somewhere on the corporate climb

He left his warrior behind

 

D
Now he’s just a worker at a daily grind

 

Steals his years and numbs his mind

G                                                          Em

His strength is fading, his dreams are blind

This is not the life he had in mind

 

 

VERSE 2:

D
She lies awake cause he’s up all night

Staring at a screen that tells him lies

 

G
That the grass is greener on the other side

 

D

So she’s at the gym fighting off the years

To be young again and calm her fears

G

That she’ll never be enough for him

 

Em
Just as a young man catches her eye

 

CHORUS:

 

                                              G                            D
Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars

 

                   D7M/C#                           D
With their cell phones and the closed doors

 

    G                             D7M/C#             D
It’s funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems

 

G
But they're all alone together

 

Em
In the house of their dreams

 

VERSE 3:

 

D
Little sister, she’s a sixteen-year-old princess

Lost somewhere between the swing set

           G

And her brand new crushs chariot awaits

 

             D
And big brothers rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name

 

                                                    G
But he'd trade all his high school fame

 

                                                            Em
For some backyard catch with his hero again

 

VERSE 4:

 

D
So now they're all dressed up in Sunday best

Sit up straight just like the rest

G                                                                                            D

And they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gives

 

And then their kids look up as daddy stands

And he takes his bride with trembling hands

 

G
Brother kneels at his fathers side as princess looks in the mothers eyes

                                                                  Em

Their tears tear down the walls as daddy prays

 

CHORUS 2:

 

                                 G                             D
We’re trapped in our own worlds and our own wars

 

                 D7M/C#                            D
With our cell phones and our closed doors

 

G                                    D7M/C#               
God, only You can save our family

 

D
And on this Rock, well build

 

G
On this Rock, well build

 

Em
The house of our dreams
