Raise the Roof

Raise the roof

Show the proof

Gather up truths

and teach them

Behind the eyes

Lies the mind

It opens as you pry

Peek inside

Winds blowin'

Reasons unknown

Feelin' alone

Broken bone

Dog on the loose

We untie the noose

Cause that's what we choose

To free him

Bird on the wing

Got a song to sing

Got love to bring

It means everything

Blood flowin'

Movies showin'

Flowers growin'

Lights glowin'

Baby learns to crawl

Prisoner climbs the wall

This old world is small

Still smilin'

The sun it shines

This heart is kind

Still got the time

To make it mine

We gotta raise the roof

and show the proof

gather up truths

and teach them

C Am G

E G (Chorus)
