Everyone needs a Home

[Verse 1] Across the salt and the foam, they came seekin' a light Leavin' the famine and the shadows of night But the soil here was hard, and the welcome was cold A story of struggle that’s never been told My granddaddy ran from a king and a cage Now we’re turnin' our backs... on the very same page. [Chorus] 'Cause everyone needs a place to lay down their head A table with kinfolk and a loaf of warm bread But home ain’t a border or a line on a map It’s a world without hunger, or a soul-crushin' trap Lord, heal every land so a man doesn’t roam 'Cause everyone, everywhere... needs a home. [Verse 2] It ain’t just a handout or a ship out to sea It’s plantin' a garden where a man can be free To stand against evil, to defang the wolf’s bite With a hand-up from neighbors to do what is right Don't make 'em leave everything they ever knew Just to find out the grass... is a different shade of blue. [Bridge] The world is a house with the windows kicked in We’re fightin' our brothers and chasin' the sin But if we fixed the roof where the rain’s fallin' down There’d be no need to run to a strange, distant town. [Chorus] Yeah, everyone needs a place to lay down their head A table with kinfolk and a loaf of warm bread But home ain’t a border or a line on a map It’s a world without hunger, or a soul-crushin' trap Lord, heal every land so a man doesn’t roam 'Cause everyone, everywhere... needs a home. [Outro] Just a place of our own... Yeah, we all need a home. Yeah, we all need a home.
