It takes more, more than a hammer More than a hammer and nails It takes more than a hammer and nails To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home
It takes a firm foundation built on faith and love With a whole lot of guidance from up above Show your neighbor what a friend is for With an open heart and an open door When your first one reaches for its’ mothers’ breasts He Knows up from down and he knows east from west
It takes more, more than a hammer More than a hammer and nails It takes more than a hammer and nails To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home
It takes more, more than a hammer More than a hammer and nails It takes more than a hammer and nails To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home To make a house a home
It takes a firm foundation build on truth and thrust So your wood won’t rot and your nails won’t rust So when your for first one reaches for its’ mothers’ breasts He knows up from down, and he knows east from west Show your neighbor what a friend is for With an open heart and an open door
