Build Me a Home
Build me a home
Build me a better life
Mould the sands of my past
Immortalize my hopes and my desires
Raise them high on the path of my growth
Paint them with my sweat, paint them blood and salt
Build me a home
Put in it, a good wife
Put in it, goodness to last
The trauma of memories, heat of fires
The floods of spring, and the winters so cold
The goodness of two lifetimes with but a little fault
Build me a home
Put on it a silver hide
All these are not much to ask
All these like frankincense and myrrh
What more to have than them in seven folds
The goodness of two lifetimes with but a little fault
