This House

This house, built from stone

Bricks and mortar

Love and hope

Voices, children cry

Parents teach us

Wrong from right

What makes your heart ache

What makes us thankful for every day

It’s always the brightest light

That takes you home each night

[Chorus]

Open the doors and windows

Whole world inside these four walls

More than a building

Floor to the ceiling

A picture of love

That’s this house

Peaceful, home sweet home

Stuff needs fixing but nothing’s broke

Full hearts, passing time

So glad this place is

Yours and mine

What makes you soul warm

What makes us be the people we’ve become

It’s always the brightest light

That takes you home each night

[Repeat chorus x2]

These walls

Full of heart

Brothers, sisters

Play their part

From innocence to teenage fights

Christenings, weddings

This is life

[Repeat chorus]

That’s this house
