More Than a Roof

MORE THAN A ROOF [Verse 1] People are just trying to live, Trying to make it through the night. Trying to hold on to a little hope, Trying to keep their future in sight. But a home becomes a number, And a person becomes a cost. How much is a life worth When everything they have is lost? [Pre-Chorus] You call it property, They call it home. You call it business, They call it somewhere to belong. [Chorus] It’s more than a roof, More than four walls and a door. It’s where somebody sleeps, Where they feel safe, where they’re secure. If you already have enough, Why take away someone’s ground? How much more can one person need Before they stop pushing someone down? [Verse 2] All around the world, People are fighting to stay. While empty houses sit untouched, Someone else is turned away. Luck is not equally handed, Neither are the keys. So if you have more than enough, Why not make room for somebody in need? [Bridge] We are not numbers. We are not assets. We are not disposable. We are people trying to survive. And someday, somewhere, It could be you outside. [Choir Bridge] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Final Chorus] It’s more than a roof, More than four walls and a door. It’s dignity, safety, And a chance to be something more. If you already have enough, Why take away someone’s ground? Having more should mean more compassion— Not more ways to push people down. [Outro] People are just trying to live. That should not be too much to ask.
