I Can Make A Home

I CAN MAKE A HOME

VERSE 1:

The moon’s the only face I know
In this new land I roam
But where I see a friendly face
I can make a home

Slowly friends will gather ‘round
With more to come in soon
Friendly eyes will look at me
Like stars around the moon

CHORUS:
I can make a home, I can make a home
It may take a while where the grass is high-grown
If I drop my bags will you take my hand?
Will you take a while with me in this new land?

VERSE 2:

First I dropped my bags to find
You came to take my hand
I think I might be ready now
To let you understand

If I open up my heart
Will you still be so kind?
Will you stay and walk with me
And not leave me behind?

CHORUS:
I can make a home, I can make a home
It may take a while where the grass is high-grown
If I drop my bags will you take my hand?
Will you take a while with me in this new land?

BRIDGE:
I saw a man up in a tree as I walked down the street
He asked me where I’m going to
And where I’d like to be.
I said, “Sir, I’d love to be up high and see so far like you,
But I’d rather be down low with friends
Than lonely with a view-oo oo oo”

CHORUS:
I can make a home, I can make a home
It may take a while where the grass is high-grown
If I drop my bags will you take my hand?
Will you take a while with me in this new land?
