Fountain & Vine Lyrics

Open your shelters and let us all in
Tired and homeless and hungry again
Outside my window at fountain and vine
Drunks and the addicts are forming a lineSharing their stories to comfort despair
Carry the weight of the crosses they bare
Praying for courage and wisdom to change
Serenity costs more than pocket book changeI 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 meSleeping on sidewalks is how people live
Begging for something, no one wants to give
Size of your wealth is a bottle of wine
Sipped with your friends, you'll soon leave behindAre your children in flames?
Incarcerated and bound by the chain?
Strangers paralyze
Down in the gutters of fountain and vineI 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 meFeel like running away, running away
Tired of seeing them falling aside
There's no running away, running, running awayI 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 meThe view from down here
Brings mention to mind
Everything's sacred on fountain and vine
