This Is Home

Living like legends, we're thrown

Back like a bone caught by a dog

We won't give it up

No, we won't give it up

Coming up 'round the bend

We try hard to mend

The fences we beat down with our fists

We beat them down with our fists

You painted windows on the walls

In that old house you could see it all

You saw a sky inside

And said, "This is home"

Lovers will leave us alone

Once we have grown

And there are no surprises anymore

Our children will take the reins

Once we grow old in our ways

Stories untold, bought and sold

You painted windows on the walls

In that old house you could see it all

You saw a sky inside

And said, "This is home"

Coming up 'round the bend

We try hard to mend

The fences we beat down with our fists

We beat them down with our fists
