Oleander - Fountain & Vine lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 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 shatterthe imagethat falls on me



The view from down here

Brings mention to mind

Everything's sacred on fountain & vine
