Ben Harper - A House Is A Home lyrics

(with Ellen Harper) A house is a home even when it's dark Even when the gra** 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
