“Glass Houses”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Staring out of glass houses, [D]hoping no one sees,
[C]Living in the shadows, [G]playing hide and seek.
[D]We wear our hearts on our sleeves, [C]underneath the neon lights,
[G]But we’re just people, [D]fighting for our rights.
(Chorus)
[G]In these glass houses, [D]we’re all the same,
[C]Chasing dreams, [G]playing the game.
[D]We may stumble, [C]and we may fall,
[G]But in our glass houses, [D]we stand tall.
(Verse 2)
[G]We’re all dreamers, [D]underneath the city lights,
[C]In our glass houses, [G]fighting the good fight.
[D]We may be different, [C]but we’re all one,
[G]In these glass houses, [D]under the same sun.
(Chorus)
[G]In these glass houses, [D]we’re all the same,
[C]Chasing dreams, [G]playing the game.
[D]We may stumble, [C]and we may fall,
[G]But in our glass houses, [D]we stand tall.

They’ve helped me through some tough times, and I see them as more than a band – they’re a group of friends who’ve been there for me without even realizing it. They’re not just my favorite band, they’re my lifeline, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.”
