Bigger Houses
By Amy Savin, April 21, 2008

He says goodbye, I'll see you tonight
I'll be home a little late
She smiles and waves; and says that's ok
I'll be waiting for you, love

But she knows she'll be lonely
The kids gone to bed
And they haven't seen daddy
Since they don't know when
But they live on the promise
That soon they'll have just what they need
Even though there's already too many garage doors to clean.

Chorus:
Still we work, chasing wealth
And we count all our gold thinking it's not enough
Living life; each his own
And we build bigger houses, but we've never been further from home.


She's on the road and making the good life
She calls home now and then
The crowds cheer, no seat is left empty
The stage has done her well

But she lies in her room, she's so lonely tonight
She's got thousands to spend but she just wants to cry
She believed them when they told her money was the way to win
Now she turns to the glass bottles calling her name once again

Chorus:
And we work, chasing wealth
And we count all our gold thinking it's not enough
Living life, each his own
And we build bigger houses, but we've never been further from home.

bridge:
God looking down on his people
Must wonder how
We expect all our children to learn
What we've not learned ourselves
