lyrics

House of Right
2008 Colleen Messina

VERSE:
There are two houses, in one I get to live
I have to choose wisely, for in each I have to give up
Either being righteous, and never being wrong
Or give up my aliveness, where my heart belongs

PRE CHORUS:
The first is the “alive house” with love & happiness
The other is the “right house”, where being right is all there is

CHORUS:
I can be alive and be in love with you
Or I can have a fight, living in the house of right
I can be alive and be in love with you
I am so alive, when I’m not in the house of right

VERSE:
To live in the “alive house”, there is rent to pay
For life will put a price on the choice I make today
If I give up my intention of proving you are wrong
Then I receive the peace that I’ve been praying for so long

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
If giving up my happiness is the price I pay
For living in the “right house”, then why would I stay?
Where arguments and mind games build walls of bitterness
I choose to be alive, where love and bliss and you and I exist…

CHORUS / CHORUS
