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
