Just Takes Heart
Building a Home: A Tale of Heart and Resilience
Lyrics
Here's a story bout a boy you may know
Introduction to a boy and his story
On the day his father died he said , son there's something you should know
Father's death revelation and imparting important knowledge
Boy I've left you nothing your 16 and all alone
Inheritance of nothing at 16, emphasizing self-reliance
But You've still got all you need as it just takes heart to build a home
Emphasis on the value of heart in building a home
it Just takes heart to build a home it Just takes heart to build a home
Reiteration of the importance of heart in home-building
I know your sad and all alone but it just takes heart to build a home
Acknowledgment of loneliness but emphasizing the power of heart
So he went up to the quarry pick and shovel in hand
Initiation of hard work with pick and shovel
Worked there day day and night, took the stone from the land
Dedication to labor day and night in the quarry
Put each stone on a barrow each weighed 100 pounds maybe more
Physical effort in transporting heavy stones
Walked them up to the top of a hill, and built that house from the floor
Building a house from the ground up
It Just takes heart to build a home it Just takes heart to build a home
Reiteration of the importance of heart in home-building
I know your sad and all alone but it just takes heart to build a home
Acknowledgment of sadness but emphasizing the power of heart
Time for the roof he thought, but there's no trees near
Challenges faced in obtaining materials for the roof
So he rowed his boat on down to town, and asked is there lumber here
Seeking lumber in town via a boat
The men there said of course, but you'll need some dough
Requirement of financial resources for the purchase
And he took his fiddle on down to that bar and down there he'd go
Using musical talent to earn money at a bar
He set up in the doorway, played like a star the crowed they loved him
Performance and audience appreciation
And put their pennies in his jar
Monetary support from the crowd
He played there day after day and they paid him good finally
Consistent effort and financial gain
Now he's ready to go and buy all of his wood
Readiness to buy building materials
But no just as he was leaving a fair lady caught his eye
Unexpected encounter with a fair lady
So he walked straight up to her and said I'll love you till I die
Expression of love and commitment
He walked straight down to her house they married
Marriage and union
The next day now when he wraps his kids in bed here is what he'll say
Anticipation of sharing wisdom with future children
It Just takes heart to build a home it Just takes heart to build a home
Reiteration of the importance of heart in home-building
I know your sad and all alone but it just takes heart to build a home
Acknowledgment of sadness but emphasizing the power of heart
It Just takes heart to build a home it Just takes heart to build a home
Reiteration of the importance of heart in home-building
I know your sad and all alone but it just takes heart to build a home
Acknowledgment of sadness but emphasizing the power of heart
