Glass House

I picked up a pebble from the garden by the gate

I was aiming at your window, I was fueled by spite and hate

I was gonna teach a lesson, I was gonna make a mark

I was gonna shatter everything you built inside the dark

But I pulled back my arm and I caught a little glimpse

Of my own reflection in the pane, and I began to wince

'Cause I saw the cracks running down my living room wall

If I throw this little pebble, yeah, my roof is gonna fall

It's easy to be the judge and the jury

When you're standing outside in a bit of a fury

But if you look close at the floor where you stand

You'll see the same weapon is right in your hand

We're all living in a Glass House

Transparent and thin

We're all trying to cover

The state that we're in

So put down the rock, yeah, drop the stone

We're not meant to handle this judgment alone

Don't shatter the neighbors, don't call someone out

'Cause we're all living in a Glass House

I remember when a neighbor threw a brick at my door

It shattered the window and it scarred up the floor

I wanted to grab it and throw it right back

To launch an offensive and heavy attack

But I looked at the brick and I saw it was red

Like the blood of a Savior who once hung and bled

He could have thrown boulders

He could have thrown fire

But He swallowed the insult

He swallowed the ire

So I swept up the glass and I opened the latch

And I realized that mercy is the only true match

It's easy to be the judge and the jury

When you're standing outside in a bit of a fury

But if you look close at the floor where you stand

You'll see the same weapon is right in your hand

We're all living in a Glass House

Transparent and thin

We're all trying to cover

The state that we're in

So put down the rock, yeah, drop the stone

We're not meant to handle this judgment alone

Don't shatter the neighbors, don't call someone out

'Cause we're all living in a Glass House

So I'll take the stones and I'll pile them high

Not to break windows, but to reach for the sky

We'll build up an altar with the rocks we didn't throw

And watch how the grace begins to grow

Yeah, watch how the grace begins to grow

In my glass house
