Crossroads

VERSE
At this crossroads tonight
We’ve shared some stories
Maybe made you laugh, maybe made you cry
Now real life plays out in the headlines,
We see thousands on the road
Standing at a crossroads, looking for a place they can call home

CHORUS
Someday, somehow we’ll all find out where we’re goin’
Someway, somewhere we’ll find a place to call our own
For every child who’s ever said “I have no place to lay my head,”
We’ll sing this simple song ‘till everyone is home

VERSE
At this crossroads in time
There’s talk of building walls again
Could we be opening doors instead?
Hearts have locks to be unfastened
Compassion is the key
To realize we are on the same journey

CHORUS
Someday, somehow we’ll all find out where we’re goin’
Someway, somewhere we’ll find a place to call our own
For every child who’s ever said “I have no place to lay my head,”
We’ll sing this simple song ‘till everyone is home
We sing this song, ‘till everyone is home
