Jean Beauvoir - This Is Our House Lyrics

Lyrics This Is Our House - Jean Beauvoir



Long ago there was a safe place
We called home
We heard a knock on the door
Mamma said don′t answer - I didn't hear her
There were these men dressed up in green uniforms
They wanted to talk to Mom
I called her name but something had changed
First time in my life I was afraid
Mister - Go away
This is our house
My Papa built it you see
He built it for my Mom and me
Misater - Go away
This is our house
When he was alive you see
He built it on his hands and knees
I was not suppose to hear
But I put the door to my ear
Trying to hear what they had to say
They shouldn′t have been talking
To my Momma that way
Through her tears that night
I could see the rest of my life
Well they said we don't belong Mamma
Why didn't you tell them they were wrong
Mister - Go away
This is our house
My Papa built it you see
He built it for my Mom and me
Misater - Go away
This is our house
When he was alive you see
He built it on his hands and knees
Oh - have things really changed
Do I really own my name
Go away this is our house
