Before they weigh you down and out
Build your own house.
Not with needles, not with haystacks
Not with wood, not with sticks
Build your house with lot of bricks.
I say that, because you got to protect
This house with winds & wolves.
Inside this house, don’t buy pretty décor
Fortify yourself with nails. And paper. And a pen.
Write your name.
Hang it on the main door
Now, my girl, you are safe
If they weigh you down and out
Bricks will keep you safe
In this house, that you have built.
