jma - ghost town lyrics
[intro]
[hook]
what if our houses would look like our families, be in the same condition
what would the world look like if our homes would be their external reflection?
we can hide a lot behind closed doors and windows, keep secrets and lies
but we will carry the influence of home for the rest of our lives
[verse 1]
that’s what people will see when they meet us
and when we meet them. the way they treat us
says a lot about how they’ve been raised and taught
what kind of environment they grew up in, every person is like a report
of their influences, whether good or bad. i know it might be sad
if the impact they’ve had on you is nothing to brag about
often, we become just like our parents who were abusive or disengaged
because we don’t know any better. this may leave you outraged
and that’s already a good start, if you want to make a change
to break this cycle that had been p-ssed on like a legacy, these chains
that have kept your family chained – the same problems that have reigned
over it for centuries. this is the time to truly engage to make an exchange!
to take what has been handed to you and not p-ss it on
but to give it to god, let it be transformed before you hand it to your daughter or son
to start with yourself and from within, to let god change your heart
that’s already a good start – for there to be change, you gotta make a restart
[hook]
what if our houses would look like our families, be in the same condition
what would the world look like if our homes would be their external reflection?
we can hide a lot behind closed doors and windows, keep secrets and lies
but we will carry the influence of home for the rest of our lives
[verse 2]
so, what if our houses would really look like the relationships in them
would they look any different, would some of the rich houses be broken
and poor houses look like palaces if the inner riches would be open
to the world, so that everybody would see what hasn’t been spoken of?
so that everything that was hidden, would become apparent
the walls that were keeping the secrets, would be, all of a sudden, transparent
what would we look like, as children or partners or parents
would we be proud of the way we’re living or deeply embarr-ssed?
would the things we’re saying and displaying to others be coherent
with the reality that’s happening in the family, or would it be aberrant
from our ideals? it all begins with the realization that we’re not inerrant
that making mistakes is inherent to us – that’s when we can start to change the situation, current
there’s so many broken and unhealthy homes and families
that might not even be abusive, but just full of negativity
it all starts from the couple, that has the central importance in the activity
of healing the whole family, they’re the center of trust, safety, and connectivity
[hook]
what if our houses would look like our families, be in the same condition
what would the world look like if our homes would be their external reflection?
we can hide a lot behind closed doors and windows, keep secrets and lies
but we will carry the influence of home for the rest of our lives
[verse 3]
would our world look like a ghost town that is desolate
or like a rich neighborhood, just the opposite?
it seems to me that the situation is really desperate
that there’s a lot of work to be done before we can celebrate
what would that town, the world, look like, if every house would be repaired?
but this process starts from within every house, not from the outside so that the world
would be changed house by house, family by family – that’s how the word
gets around. i know it might sound absurd and it’s true, there is a lot of work
to be done. it all starts from within every person
that’s when couples can change when they understand their purpose:
to love and serve one another, to carry each other’s burdens
not add to them, help each other heal, not make the other hurt more
the loving atmosphere of the couple will transform the environment
of the family, that’s when the kids can grow into what they were meant
to be, and carry that same love into the world, for what they were sent
to do: to impact the world with god’s love displayed in their home and beat 50 percent
[bridge]
do you wanna be part of this solution, this relationship revolution, this movement
that hopes to influence the world with god’s love for its betterment
starting from the bottom to the top, from the very bas-m-nt
to the attic – from within, to the couple, to the family, to the world and nations? let’s get at it!
[hook]
what if our houses would look like our families, be in the same condition
what would the world look like if our homes would be their external reflection?
we can hide a lot behind closed doors and windows, keep secrets and lies
but we will carry the influence of home for the rest of our lives
