A House Is A Home - Ben Harper, Ellen Harper

A house is a home even when it’s dark

Even when the grass is overgrown in the yard

Even when the dog is too old to bark

And when you’re sitting at the table trying not to starve

A house is a home even when there’s ghosts

Even when you gotta run from the ones who love you most

Screen door’s broken paint’s peeling from the wood

Locals whisper when they gonna leave the neighborhood

A house is a home where the chores are never done

Where you spend your whole life running to and from

And if the life that you live is not the life you choose

Make your child a home and start anew

A house is a home

Even when we’ve up and gone

Even when you’re there alone

A house is a home
