To Build A Home
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t
feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
Cause, I built a home
for you
for me
Until it disappeared
from me
from you
And now it’s time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden
where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were
sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
By
the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the
world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as
you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Cause, I
built a home
for you
for me
Until it disappeared
from me
from you
And now it’s time to leave and turn to dust
