We can take a groove make it move we can prove
That we're for real this time we got nothing to hide
We can work the room make a boom turn it into
A place where future finds something from our time
All we have to do is come into a place anew
Where we can blur the lines elevate our minds
In my head I see a kinda dream a place where we
Can live, move, have our being give take it one step higher
Please we can make it better I know it really matters
Wouldn't it be a trip to live in such a place you and I
Been trying to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been trying to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Don't you wanna put the hammer down take a break from all the pressure
Be whatever whatever whatever whatever
Hands up in the air if you dare we don't care
If it brings you to your knees it's alright by me
Love will find you still it's in His will for us to build
One voice one single gift and lift it down from here
We gotta get together, we really gotta get there
I could betcha I'll be telling you again and again
Been trying to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been trying to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Come and go with me to my Father's house take a break from all the pressure
Whatever whatever whatever whatever
SYNOPSIS
The concept behind this song is imagining a house made of rubber where everyone fits and belongs. No matter how different we all are, the house will bend for us. Even it if appears that the house will overflow, the house can stretch and there is always room for another. I believe that is how God meant for us to accept others and love them as ourselves. To look for a way to embrace others and affirm that they fit in no matter how they stand out. What an amazing place the world would be if we could just love each other first before we start judging and looking for things we don't like. A rubber house can exist in our hearts, our schools, virtually everywhere.
