Keys to this House

Take 'em, take 'em, the keys to this house

I hand them over to you...

Take 'em, take 'em, the keys to this house

I hand them over to you

I have no use for them, despite my claims

After all, they're already Yours

I just needed to open

Needed to open

Needed to open the door

Been foolin' and kiddin' myself most the time

That Yours is Yours, and mine is mine

But I can't kid a kidder, in my foolishness found

I just had to give over to You

So take 'em, take 'em, the keys to this house

I hand them over to you

I have no use for them, despite my claims

Afterall, they're already Yours

I just needed to open

Needed to open

Needed to open the door

Ah too many times I forget and I turn to lock the door

Ah and I'm so sure

That I've put it together, there's no need to bother you

And as I turn, there You are, here You are

So take it, take it, the deed to this house

I sign it over to you

'though 'ready made plain, it's got Your name

Well in fact it's already Yours

I just had to sign over

had to sign over

had to sign over to You

I just needed to open

Needed to open

Needed to open the door

Commentary:    The addition of the instrument knocks and "doorbell" is a real band plus. =)   Here's an "old one" that we've reworked for our present gigs.  A favorite of some.  Addresses the facade of thinking that we are in control, not needing the One who created us.  Comes around to the admission to this thinking and the need for continually "coming back".   rm
