lyrics

He was just a boy
when the world was thrust upon his shoulders
could barely lift an axe
when he found himself in the wilderness
He’s looking for a war cry
but don’t know how
He’s looking for a war cry
words won’t come out

Oooh

A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone
A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone

He left those woods just like he should
to carve out a world as best he could
With heavy heart and muddy boot
The moving part that cut the root
Pulled up by the bootstraps
He could chop em now
He can earn his place
if he chops them down

A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone
A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone

He chopped em down to build this house
But part of him is missing now
He stuck it out in this big house
It took this long to figure out

A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone
A house can’t build a home
It’s better off left alone

It took this long to figure out

A house can’t build a home

about

Aysanabee Toronto, Ontario
