The House You Built
You used to know so well those weathered hands,
When they were gentle, when the brought the colour to your cheeks.
They still do, but not the same, because they turned their back on you,
And when she's hiding at your feet, you know you'll stay.
These sentiments are second hand.
He's fighting for his heart but he is losing ground.
She's unintended, not unloved,
And you're the one to keep her safe and sound.
Don't look down, even though they're looking down on you.
The house you build on solid ground will be a home. In time, you'll see it.
Don't look down, even though they're looking down on you.
The love you build your house around will make it home in time to see them through.
Her shoes are scuffed, she drags her feet too much,
But baby lift your face, you don't need to justify your place.
So stay just what you are, you've come this far.
If only I could show your future you would light up like the sun.
These sentiments are second hand.
She's fighting for your future and she's gaining ground.
You are protected, you are loved,
So show them who you are, make them proud.
Don't look down, even though they're looking down on you.
The house you build on solid ground will be a home. In time, you'll see it.
Don't look down, because there's no-one looking down on you.

In time, just see it through.

You gave your little light a brand new start.

La casa que construiste
Solías conocer tan bien esas manos desgastadas
Cuando eran suaves, cuando los trajeron el color a tus mejillas
Todavía lo hacen, pero no es lo mismo, porque te dieron la espalda
Y cuando se esconda a tus pies, sabes que te quedarás
Estos sentimientos son de segunda mano
Está luchando por su corazón pero está perdiendo terreno
Ella no es intencional, no desamada
Y tú eres el que la mantiene sana y salva
No mires hacia abajo, aunque te estén mirando hacia abajo
La casa que construyas en terreno sólido será un hogar. Con el tiempo, lo verás
No mires hacia abajo, aunque te estén mirando hacia abajo
El amor que construyes tu casa alrededor llegará a casa a tiempo para verlos a través
Sus zapatos están rayados, ella arrastra sus pies demasiado
Pero bebé levanta tu cara, no necesitas justificar tu lugar
Así que quédate lo que eres, has llegado hasta aquí
Si pudiera mostrar tu futuro te iluminarías como el sol
Estos sentimientos son de segunda mano
Está luchando por tu futuro y está ganando terreno
Estás protegido, eres amado
Así que muéstrales quién eres, hazles sentir orgullosos
No mires hacia abajo, aunque te estén mirando hacia abajo
La casa que construyas en terreno sólido será un hogar. Con el tiempo, lo verás
No mires hacia abajo, porque no hay nadie que te mire hacia abajo
Tu casa está construida en terreno sólido, estarás bien
Con el tiempo, sólo ve a través
Oye, pequeña luz, ¿no eres un gran triunfador?
Hey Sra. Podria, sé que usted cree en ella
Hey Sr. golpeado, encontró su corazón otra vez
Con la esperanza de que construyeras tu casa alrededor
Le diste a tu pequeña luz un nuevo comienzo
No mires hacia abajo, porque no hay nadie que te mire hacia abajo
La casa que construiste en terreno sólido será un hogar. Con el tiempo, lo verás
No mires hacia abajo, porque no hay nadie que te mire hacia abajo
Tu casa está construida en terreno sólido, estarás bien
Con el tiempo, sólo ve a través
