MAKING A LIFE

This house is old
The walls are thin and doors are frail
Nothing that I can't fix
With my hands, a hammer and a nail

I just wanna work hard
Hold my kids
Love my wife
That's what it's all about
I don't wanna make a living
I wanna make a life
It's not about making a living
Baby it's about making a life

Seems like only yesterday
I still don't understand
I held the rock of Abraham
It broke in the palm of my hand

And when you saw that I was falling
I looked up and heard you calling
Out my name
I flew right by the sun
And the moon and the stars were out
And swirling around
Were clouds of tears that I had found
I wrapped them up and gave them to the rain
And they ell like a waterfall
And all the tears
And all the pain
And all the fears
Were gone

Oh my little baby child
Playing in the circles of the sun
Listen to your mama now
Keep your pretty mama on the run

I just wanna work hard
Hold my kids
Love my wife
That's what it's all about
I don't wanna make a living
I wanna make a life
It's not about making a living
Baby it's about making a life
