No Room At the Inn-The Staple Singers

I understand their offer, that's totally unacceptable We have no room for negotiation Look, I've got someone at the door, call me back as soon as you know ok, bye This is ridiculous, everytime... Look, I'm very busy right now, I don't have any extra time, alright So could you come back, I don't know Later? Oh, they're turned down Turned upside down Every room is taken Short and tall, crowded wall to wall, nearing sleep I'll knock again, use that wanting in, make the strangers leave Will we ever get some peace? Sent away till another day when he'll walk among them So a man, knocking once again, bringing peace There are those of the young and old who will not recieve Saying, "man, we have no need." Still no room in the inn Turned away once again Wants to save everyone but no saving is done Till there's room in the end Long ago, yeah well maybe so, But not much as changed since then Pride and sin keep resisting him and always will Don't need toys to lead someone to joy It's for this he's watching, waiting, knocking still Still no room in the inn Turned away once again Wants to save everyone but no saving is done Till there's room... Inside, outside, or upside down While forever beckons to us We serve the moth and the rust We showed ourselves in Let's open the inn and let him in Came to save everyone but no saving is done Until there's room in the inn I hear he's coming again Time to scrub down the walls like the lamp in the hall And set a table for him Let's make some room (lots of it) In the inn
