In My Father's House lyrics

You might been raised on the block You mighta wandered here from far But no matter where you come from No matter who you are You don't need no id You don't need no membership cards Well, you know you're always welcome In my father's house You might be a child of the streets You might be rich man's son An' no matter what you're doin' No matter whatcha done When you got nowhere to hide Got nowhere to run Well, you know you'll find shelter In my father's house When you're lonely an' discouraged An' misery has no end When you need that helpin' hand An' no-one wants to lend When you're beggin' for a friend Yes, you know you're gonna find one In my father's house When you're mistreated in this world Like a stranger in your own land When the chains around your heart Are just too much to stand When heaven's just a word An' hell is close to hand Come an' lay your burden down In my father's house You might been raised on the block You mighta wandered here from far But no matter where you come from No matter who you are You don't need no id You don't need no membership cards Well, you know you're always welcome In my father's house
