This house is a good mess it's the proof of life No way would I trade jobs but I don't pay overtime I'll get to the laundry I don't know when I'm saying a prayer tonight cause tomorrow it starts again Could it be that everything is sacred And all this time Everything I've dreamed of has been right before my eyes The children are sleeping but they're running through my mind The sun makes them happy and the music makes them unwind My cup runneth over, I worry about the stain Teach me to run to you like they run to me for every little thing Cause everything is sacred And all this time Everything I've dreamed of has been right before my eyes When I forget to drink from you I can feel the banks harden Lord make me like a stream to feed the garden Wake up little sleeper The Lord God Almighty Made your mama keeper So rise and shine, rise and shine, rise and shine Cause everything is sacred And all this time Everything I've dreamed of has been right before my eyes
