As I wait and as I wander
Who it was who built this house?
As the days and years go by
still I've never been without.

I hear the rain and feel the thunder,
And see the lightning in the yard,
As the days and years go by
I know I'm kept within your arms.

I listen to the wind blow,
But it's hard to do on this tightrope,
And I'm holding on to your coat,
Cause there's one thing that's for sure...

And as I wake and as I wonder
What it is I sing about?
But all the times that I've been silent
It's been the rocks I've heard cry out.

We're only everything we're given,
But all we have is all we need.
So often I am pulled and tempted
and I'm left staring at my feet.
