Your face reflects like metal
I look into your galvanized washers and melt
I want to bolt my eyes to yours
Then together we will build a house around us
First we’ll gaze at our salvation as we plan
Beginning with a foundation, laid brick by brick
From the mortar we mixed by the fire of our hearts
The desire burning hot enough to not fade in cold
Our roots extend from us, a part of the sheetrock underneath
We develop our strength as we lay bricks and hold up boards
Working inside and out, short and long periods, all for one
So we can have a steady beauty and solid structure
We find the tools to make the parts a whole
The saws and blades to cut the pieces to size
And the nails and hammers to push a snug fit
And the drill to tighten any loose screws
We’ve got the house wired for plumbing and electricity
The water flows through my fittings to keep us alive and clean
And the energy sparks flow through your wires to light and heat
With both running, the house becomes a welcoming home
We’ve picked out a red door to lead to the green house
We turn the knob and enter the threshold
Our heart, our home, cozy and warm
We built one love for two hearts to live
That’s the power of strong home specs
