Take Care of This House
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
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
