Listen "A Man Built A House"
Episode Synopsis
This is a song about a man who built a house and has a completely different meaning..... Lyrics: A man had a dream for a project all alone he could build a house on his own friends thought him crazy for his choice of fun he might not live to see it done They offered to help or it would take too long but he just smiled , you could be wrong With just his hammer and his trusted saw to erect his project of awe Chorus 1 Be careful to judge a man with a dream he can probably do more than it would seem It doesn’t matter how long it might take He’s building his castle —- for its own sake He found some land just far enough away big trees to harvest to build his way with research on the trusses and beams. It was easier than what it first seemed. His project was taxing, slow as some feared it took years just to get the forest cleared those who visited just shook their heads talked about how this would end as they said Chorus 2 A man with a plan gets things done as dreamed with every day action, a full head of steam as small as each step that can hardly show his dedication would ——make it grow The man persisted with daily labor of love before you knew it a roof was above The hammer worked perfect to drive nails the saw kept sharp to rip rails. Finale Then one day the sun rose bright and clear folks could see that the finish day was here It had all the features of his visioned plan done by the hammer and saw…. in his hand.
