The Christmas tree out front has grown so tall and wide
It's hard to remember when it once stood up inside
And we circled it with shining lights and an angel up above
Feel all the shame I felt in here, remember God is love
If you need help, then you can always ask for some
God bless this house that I must run from
Everything is different here from the floorboards to the roof
And if I ever lived in here, I don't see any proof
And the people who still live in here are fully in disguise
But I've worn plenty of masks, and I've told my share of lies
And I am a worm, I am blind and deaf and dumb
God bless this house that I must run from
God bless the mailbox spelling out our name
God bless the pencil marks climbing the door frame
God bless the concrete imprinted with my hands
God bless the basement and the water rushing in
God bless the walls that always kept my family safe
God bless my mom and dad, God bless their faith
God bless the rain that falls, God bless the sun
God bless this house that I must run from
