banks coming down

they're taking all our hard earned pay

the lord giveth, but he taketh away

i pay our debts

but works getting hard to find

these are hard times

i built this house

with my own two hands

now their gonna take it

and five acres of land

and all of our children

are growing up way too fast

in these hard times

but wait, oh wait

see how the morning breaks

it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take

and though we lose our stake

heaven is where we make it

even in the smallest places,

can a garden grow

i took this job

in part as a sacrifice

for my unborn children

and my beautiful wife

i always worked hard

on all of these sad estates

with no hard times

but wait, oh wait

see how the morning breaks

it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take

and though we lose our stake

heaven is where we make it

even in the smallest places,

can a garden grow

even in the smallest places,

can a garden grow
