lyrics

Today I bought a welcome mat
placed it by the front door
And I want you to know I mean that
If you ever need a place to be alone
Or a friend away from friends
Or a little slice of home
I'd be honored if you pick me

One of my goals in this life is to be grateful
And last night eight hands were willing
To help unbox my life
Home is something that you make
And you, my friends, are bricks and mortar
In the walls I create

My strength is not equal
To what I plan to do
But it's still hard for me to say
"I need you"
Though I couldn't count the times
that I, myself was taken in
To a building made of people
And cared for as one of them

One of my goals in this life is to be worthy
Of the friends and family that are
All around me
It's a lofty aim but I will strive
To take good care of you
And to make sure you know:
It's yours if it's mine
