Take Care of This House - Barbra Streisand

Here in this shell of a house

This house that is struggling to be

A beacon of light shining all through the night

So bright that the whole world could see

But now there’s a chill in the room

Windows are starting to leak

Floorboards are starting to creak

And hope, hope may arrive

The house will survive

If only these walls could speak

Take care of this house

Keep it from harm

If bandits break in sound the alarm

Care for this house

Shine it by hand

And keep it so clean the glow can be seen all over the land

Be careful at night, check all the doors

If someone makes off with a dream, the dream will be yours

Take care of this house

Be always on call

For this house is the hope of us all

Beware of false smiles that lead you astray

When someone is telling you lies let truth lead the way

Take of this house

Be always on call

Care for this house

It’s the hope of us all
