I'm in the shadow of the big house more and more each day,
And it's been like this for most of my life, and I'm glad it's here to stay,
And this all began when I was five, as I walked up the stairs,
I saw the looks from all the passersby, but, man, could never care.
I'm of the walkway to the brighter days ahead, (big house)
I tell you, people, I'm on my way,
I see the footprints glow upon the path I tread, (big house)
Giant shadows on a sunny day.
I wonder at the marvels of the big house in a special way,
Covered by forgiveness, 'cause there are no secrets here...and I like it that way,
I'd to meet you at the door; I want to see your face,
Hey, after all, this is what love is for, and you hold a special place.
I'm of the walkway to the brighter days ahead, (big house)
I tell you, people, I'm on my way,
I see the footprints glow upon the path I tread, (big house)
Giant shadows on a sunny day, day, day, yeah.
I'm living in the big house,
I'm living in the big house, yeah.
Big house,
Big house.
I'm washed in the colours of the big house, with my eyes open wide,
Won't you look into the pupils, into the castle of my soul?
I'd like to show you who's inside,
The continuum is never fading,
Not just a house, but a home,
It is here where I find my peace and understanding that comforts me when I'm alone.
I'm of the walkways to the brighter days ahead, (big house)
I tell you, people, I'm on my way,
I see the footprints glow upon the path I tread, (big house)
Giant shadows on a sunny day, day, day, yeah,
Sunny day, day, day, yeah,
Sunny day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, yeah.
