lyrics

What color is your home?
I don't mean what color is your house painted
What color is your home?
What do people see when they come in.

What do they feel? Would they sit down for a meal?
Or just stay there until they could conveniently leave?
What color is your home?

How big is your door?
Is it locked with the key thrown away?
How big is your door?
Will you open it up to those knocking?

Where is it at? Is it so hidden that
None see the welcome mat? Or is there even one out there?
How big is your door?

How large is your front room?
Is it warm with the fireplace burning?
How large is your front room?
Can all of your guests be seated?

Do they come in, and ask you "how have you been?"
With a big hug and a grin, and want to spend time with you?
Or does your room have all the warmth of a tomb?
They want to pick up a broom to sweep up the cobwebs...
How large is your front room.

How deep is your heart?
Oh, how much love will it hold?
How deep is your heart?
Is it warm as the sun, or just stone cold?
