Just an old house with stories of its own Takes me back to days gone by The colors have faded and the steps are made of stone An aging friend against the sky When I was a boy I grew to love this land And the house my granddaddy's hands had made The walls have held stury through every kind of wind 'Cause everyhing he made he made that way Under one roof where the fires of love were burned And broken hearts were mended, too Under one roof many lessons have been learned And simple dreams could still come true Now I've been gone for far too long it seems But I always knew that I'd come back someday And now my life is one to share with you
We can build this love in a country way Under one roof, where the fires of love are burning, And broken hearts are mended, too Under one roof many lessons to be learned And simple dreams can still come true Like the man who built the house long ago His children's children will continue to grow With hopes and dreams that we all could be Brothers and sisters in one family and live... Under one roof, where the fires of love are burning And broken hearts will be mended, too Under one roof many lessons will be learned And simple dreams can still come true There's a place in this world for me and you Where simple dreams can still come true
