He says, I'm just a man
I walk with my hand
But lately no work has been around
I wish that I could put more on the table
Provide a life I'm sure my family dreams about
But there's crack in all the walls and all the window
And the flies, they find their way in through the screen
I just pray that hope will go on living
In this house of a thousand dreams
And she says, my husband's a good man
Gives all that he can
And I know he thinks he's let me down
I just want him and the children to be happy
It's not always easy but it's all I dream about
So I'll find some yard silk curtains for the window
I'll sew some yellow trim along the seam
I keep praying hope will go on living
In this house of a thousand dreams
Their boy says, my Daddy's a strong man
My mama she loves him
And they love my brother and sister and me
Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard
And take turns wishing on the first star we see
And the cricket always see outside the window
And I love to feel the windblow through the screen
I should hope that we can live forever
In this house of a thousand dreams
I should hope that we can live forever
In this house of a thousand dreams
The kids are always singing
The kids are always singing a song (singing, singing)
