Is There Anyone Home Lyrics

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone?
Anyone inside know my name
I've been around for a half a hundred days
Never saw a door shut so tight
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering child in the wilderness
Wild and uncaged on your wings
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir

There's a light around you
I've come to switch it on
It will brighten every room
Don't be ashamed if you feel a whole lot warmer in you heart.
You got that feelin' in your soul

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone?
Anyone in there who might care
I've grown weary and wise and I feel much amazed.
Got a few good tales to unwind
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering minstrel at dawn
In the house of a thousand delights

I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir

Summer Side Of Life

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone?
Anyone inside know my name
I've been around for a half a hundred days
Never saw a door shut so tight
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering child in the wilderness
Wild and uncaged on your wings
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir

There's a light around you
I've come to switch it on
It will brighten every room
Don't be ashamed if you feel a whole lot warmer in you heart.
You got that feelin' in your soul

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone?
Anyone in there who might care
I've grown weary and wise and I feel much amazed.
Got a few good tales to unwind
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering minstrel at dawn
In the house of a thousand delights

I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir
I think I heard
Someone stir

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
