Take Care of This House

Lyrics

Here in this shell of a house
 This house that is struggling to be
 A beacon of light shining all through the night
 So bright that the whole world could see
 But now there's a chill in the room
 Windows are starting to leak
 Floorboards are starting to creak
 And hope, hope may arrive
 The house will survive
 If only these walls could speak
 Take care of this house
 Keep it from harm
 If bandits break in sound the alarm
 Care for this house
 Shine it by hand
 And keep it so clean the glow can be seen
 All over the land
 Be careful at night, check all the doors
 If someone makes off with a dream
 The dream will be yours
 Take care of this house
 Be always on call
 For this house is the hope of us all
 Beware of false smiles that lead you astray
 When someone is telling you lies
 Let truth lead the way
 Take care of this house
 Be always on call
 Care for this house
 It's the hope of us all
