Different Houses

A house made of straw, am I the big bad wolf The wind of the lungs, just may blow it away If I believed everything said about me, where would I be today Do I listen to any of it I can’t see, and believe it anyway Build yourself a sandcastle, and it may be washed away Enjoy every second with a friend, time always runs out Take time to be free, or you may lose sight of mind Can you build a house of glass, if so never throw stones Now you can see through, but how will you judge By acting so silly, and holding a grudge Drive a car a little to fast, use brakes to slow you up Brick houses never blow down, but can be leveled to the ground Safe from sound of the outer roar, just until you open a door Your house is your haven, and even your nest Have what your craving, you’ll like it the best What are you saying, I say surely you jest I am done raving, and now going to rest
