Oleander - Fountain & Vine lyrics

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 dispair Carry the weight of the crosses they bare Praying for courage and wisdom to change Serenity costs more than 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 no one 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 shatter the image that falls on me The view from down here Brings mention to mind Everything's sacred on fountain & vine
