Lyrics

(marvin etzioni)

i’m no architect just a man with a song and i don’t need a blueprint to see something’s wrong from the outside this place looks real sharp when you open the front door it’ll break your heart it’s hard to build a home that won’t break in two but it’s easy to build one with paper and glue you can fill a beacon’s van with all that you own but it’s hard hard to build a home i don’t sell real estate but i know what it’s worth to have a heart that won’t break here on this earth if you want all the answers now ’cause your afraid of the unknown you’ll find it hard hard to build a home it’s hard to build a home that won’t break in two but it’s easy to build one with paper and glue you can fill a beacon’s van with all that you own but it’s hard hard to build a home i’m no carpenter that’s my daddy’s line he can hang a door in five minutes time once the job is finished another one starts the last home he built it just fell apart it’s hard to build a home that won’t break in two but it’s easy to build one with paper and glue you can fill a beacon’s van with all that you own but you’ll find it hard hard to build, yeah it’s hard hard to build, yeah it’s hard hard to build a home
