The Room Songtext
von Bruce Carroll

There′s a room in the house
Where she never goes
All the curtains are drawn
And the windows stay closed
She's got pictures and paint
That she never used
She′s not so much angry
As hurt and confused
When her husband comes home
After working so late
They both try to be strong
For the other one's sake
And they talk about things
That don't matter at all
And neither one mentions
What′s right down the hall


In the room where a cradle
Holds nothing but questions
And the rocking chair waits in the dark
Where the laughter is silent
And the silence is louder
Than even the cries of their heart
Though their faith is strong
And they still believe
In what only the Lord can do
They hold on to each other
And wait for the day
When they can finally go in the room

Though it seems like they have
Everything in their life
They′re not mother and dad
But still husband and wife
As they live with the pain
And conceal all the scars
They're close to each other
But they′re never too far


From the room where a cradle
Holds nothing but questions
And the rocking chair waits in the dark
Where the laughter is silent
And the silence is louder
Than even the cries of their heart
Though their faith is strong
And they still believe
In what only the Lord can do
They hold on to each other
And they wait for the day
When they can finally go in the room

There's a light in the hallway that′s calling
To a place where the dream finds release
And knowing their heavenly Father
Is holding the key

To the room where a cradle
Holds nothing but questions
And the rocking chair waits in the dark
Where the laughter is silent
And the silence is louder
Than even the cries of their heart
Though their faith is strong
And they still believe
In what only the Lord can do
They'll hold on to each other
And they′ll wait for the day
When they can finally go in the room
