Here in the shell of a house This house that is struggling to be A beacon of light Shinning 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 of 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 full 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
