Pleased to meet you, welcome to my home
It's broken down and dirty, but it's all I've known
Through here the sun still shines sometimes
This is where the rain leaks in, but I don't mind
Sit down anywhere, I'm not hung up on form
I only clean when it gets too much to ignore
So you were saying something, I don't remember
You're the first guest I've had in forever
This old house, standing still A monument to force of will
This old house, empty and alone A fortress made of flesh and bone
Here's a room that I don't open anymore
Mostly cause I'm scared of what's behind the door
The wool I've gathered now clutters up these halls
Truth be told, I'm getting sick of it all
It's been said that "bars do not a prison make"
I can see it's true, but I guess it's just too late
I guess you're right, this is no way to live
It's just so hard when it's me I have to forgive
Chorus
Are you sure? This job is so much
And I am weak, I can't do enough
You are strong, you'll be my arms
As I start on this road to reconstruction
This old house, standing tall Held by faith, it will never fall
This old house, no longer alone A foundation made of stone
