We Are Homeless Without Love

A little one came to the table.
Make a little room.
Pulled up an empty chair.
Make a little room.
Said, “Somebody’s calling outside.”
Can we bring them in here?

We started talking ’bout the borders—
But where will they sleep?
Started talking ’bout the law—
But where will they sleep?
I only asked about tonight.
Tonight! Tonight!
Where will love lay its head?
Where will you put my Love to bed?

We are homeless—
Homeless without love.
Even with a roof above—
Homeless without love.
We are homeless without love!
We are homeless without love!

Home is where the heart is, so
have some mercy!
This is where love has led.
Is there room in your heart?
Have you heard what love has said?

Is there room for me in your heart?
There is room. There is room!
Is there room in your heart for love?
Make some room. Make some room!
Dear Beloveds, make some room!

Let our answer be an open door,
A place beside the fire.
We are homeless without love—
Love, sweet love.
Oh dear heart, give me some of that love!
That sweet sweet love!

Somewhere people said, “No more.”
Nobody sleeping outside.
Put the keys into their hands—
Come on home. Come inside.
Open your heart!
Open your mind!
Love is all it takes.
Love will make you feel alive!

Somewhere they put supper on—
Bring another plate.
When another hungry stranger comes—
Don’t make them wait.
We won’t make them wait!
We won’t make them wait!

Do they have to earn their dinner?
No, no, no. Oh Lord, no.
Do they have to earn a bed?
No, no, no. Sweet Mother of God!
Then let’s mean the words we’ve said.
Let’s mean the words we’ve said!
It’s not so hard!
Just say it out loud.
Love is all it takes!
Love is all it takes!

We are homeless—
Homeless without love.
Even with a roof above—
Homeless without love.
We are homeless without love!

Is there room in heart for me?
There is room! There is room!
Is there room in your heart for love?
Make some room. Make some room!
Oh Dear Sweet Love, make some room!

Let our answer be an open door,
A place beside the fire.
We are homeless without love—
Love, sweet love.
Come to the light.
Take us a little higher!
Come a little closer!
It’s gonna be alright!

Who will plant the trees?
We will plant the trees.
Who will get the shade?
Children we may never see.
Plant the future with love…
Don’t you see?

Who will mend what’s broken?
Put it in our hands.
Can we give more than we’ve taken?
Together, yes, we can, yes we can.

And when we get tired?
You can lean on me.
And when you get tired?
You can lean on me!
Lean on me brothers and sisters.
Only in love will we be free!

Put some hands on that love!
Put some hands on it!
Put a meal on that love!
Put some hands on it!
Put a roof on that love!
Put some hands on it!
Let it reach somebody tonight!
Let it reach, let it reach!
Let it reach, let it reach!

Open up, open up—oh, make a little room!
Somebody’s been waiting, somebody needs you.
Bring your hammer, bring your bread,
Bring those words to life you said!

Make a little room.
Make a little room.
Room at the table,
Room in our lives.

Is everybody home yet?

No, Dear One.

Then we’ve got work to do.
We’ve got work to do.

We are homeless without love.
We are homeless without love.
We are homeless without love.

I’ll come with you, I’ll come to you!
I’ll come with you, I’ll come to you!
