Mi Casa Es Su Casa
Written by Shan Gilbreath
Verse 1
The world’s got walls too high to climb,
Lines in the sand, and hearts outta time.
But I’ve learned more from a stranger’s smile,
Than a thousand miles of talkin’ wild.
The sun don’t care ‘bout where you’re from,
It shines the same on everyone.
And if you’re tired, just knock on my door—
That’s what this heart is for.
Chorus
Mi casa es su casa, my friend,
Come on in and let the healing begin.
There’s room at the table,
For love to pull through—
Mi casa es su casa,
And my heart’s open too.
Verse 2
We’ve all been hungry, we’ve all been lost,
We’ve all had dreams that came with a cost.
But every burden feels half as strong,
When someone helps you carry on.
I don’t see borders, I don’t see names,
Just folks out here fightin’ the same.
And if the road gets rough, don’t turn away—
You’ll always have a place to stay.
Chorus
Mi casa es su casa, my friend,
Come on in and let the healing begin.
There’s room at the table,
For love to pull through—
Mi casa es su casa,
And my heart’s open too.
Rap Breakdown (Rap Battle Style)
Divider:
You from that side, I’m from mine,
Ain’t crossin’ that border line.
Keep your talk ‘bout peace and grace,
I got fences you can’t face.
Peacemaker:
Man, that line’s just in your head,
Fear’s the fuel, but love ain’t dead.
You talk walls, I talk bridges wide,
I’ll stand in truth while you divide.
Divider:
Ain’t no reason, just how it be,
Different skin, different creed, not me.
Peacemaker:
Different roots, same sky above—
You build hate, I’ll build love.
You swing words like bullets fly,
But kindness never dies.
Mi casa, su casa—take my hand,
That’s how we heal this land.
(Beat drops — guitar slides back in)
Bridge
So take your coat off, sit a while,
Share your story, share your smile.
We’re all just travelers, lost and found,
Tryin’ to build some common ground.
Final Chorus
Mi casa es su casa, my friend,
We can start the world over again.
If kindness is the key,
Then here’s what we’ll do—
Mi casa es su casa,
And my heart’s open too.
Outro
Yeah, mi casa es su casa…
And my heart’s open too.
