Hammer and Nails
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It takes more, more, more than a hammer, more than a hammer and nails
It takes more, more than a hammer and nails to make a house a home
It takes more, more, more than a hammer, more than a hammer and nails
It takes more, more than a hammer and nails to make a house a home
To build a firm foundation I am thinking love
It takes a whole lotta God than to come above
Show your neighbour what a pen is for
With an open heart and an open door
It takes more than a hammer and nails to make a house a home
[chorus x2]
Well ..
I know ..
You gotta have more ..
I didn't understand it, truth and trust
Your wood woulda rotten and your nails won't rust
You first born allegiance for his mother's a hand
No one would have to tell ya cos you understand
Show your neighbour what a pen is for
With an open heart and an open door
To build a firm foundation I am thinking love
It takes a whole lotta God than to come above
It takes more than a hammer and nails to make a house a home
[chorus x2]
Well ..
I know ..
You gotta have more ..
