Joyshop - A Home lyrics

A home is more than bricks and mortar Built with stones and washed by waterfalls A street is more than cars and people Folks on mobiles making feeble calls And I like you am far from home And I am more than flesh and bone A war is more than hurt and hustle Why do people turn upon their own For a man is more than blood and muscle Lest he finds his dignity disowned Chorus And what we all say in the evening will soon be forgotten by dawn The morning will come without warning and we'll fall asleep on the lawn And while we all dream our bodies will rustle in the leaves And in high esteem I'll hold you 'cos you are dear to me Chorus When I arrived in this dingy town nothing but my plimsolls touching the ground I was a mess, a bed head, could have been left for dead I did not know which way to turn because my bridges all were burned But you who believed in me gave me new life; reaffirmed my faith in a stranger Now I feel loved, heavens above, I am lost in sweet surrender Chorus
