A Home Lyrics - Singles - Joyshop

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
