Home Wasn't Built in a Day

HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

EVERYBODY WANTS TOMORROW – AND WE ALL WANT IT YESTERDAY

WISH THAT WE COULD START AT THE END

AND NOT PUT IN THE TIME IT TAKES

THE ONLY THING I KNOW THAT LASTS - WASN’T MADE THAT FAST

BOARD BY BOARD AND BRICK BY BRICK

WE MADE IT ANY WAY BUT QUICK

YEARS OF TEARS AND BLOOD AND SWEAT

WE’D FIGHT LIKE HELL WHEN WE’D FORGET

THAT FAITH AND HOPE AND LOVE AND TRUST

ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT HOLD IT UP

AND WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY

BABY HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

NOBODY WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT BY THE WAY WE STARTED OUT

THAT IT’D BE YOU AND ME AND OUR LITTLE THREE

ALL PILED UP ON THIS COUCH - BUT LOOK AT US NOW

BOARD BY BOARD AND BRICK BY BRICK

WE MADE IT ANY WAY BUT QUICK

YEARS OF TEARS AND BLOOD AND SWEAT

WE’D FIGHT LIKE HELL WHEN WE’D FORGET

THAT FAITH AND HOPE AND LOVE AND TRUST

ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT HOLD IT UP

AND WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY

BABY HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

IT TAKES MORE THAT WINDOWS, WALLS AND DOORS

TO BLOCK THE RAIN AND STOP THE STORMS

BOARD BY BOARD AND BRICK BY BRICK

WE MADE IT ANY WAY BUT QUICK

YEARS OF TEARS AND BLOOD AND SWEAT

WE’D FIGHT LIKE HELL WHEN WE’D FORGET

THAT FAITH AND HOPE AND LOVE AND TRUST

ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT HOLD IT UP

AND WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY

BABY HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

BABY THIS HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

OUR HOME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY
