Lyrics

Hammer and Nails

It takes more, more than a hammer

More than a hammer and nails

It takes more than a hammer and nails

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home It takes a firm foundation built on faith and love

With a whole lot of guidance from up above

Show your neighbor what a friend is for

With an open heart and an open door

When your first one reaches for its' mothers' breasts

He Knows up from down and he knows east from west

It takes more, more than a hammer

More than a hammer and nails

It takes more than a hammer and nails

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

It takes more, more than a hammer

More than a hammer and nails

It takes more than a hammer and nails

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

It takes a firm foundation build on truth and thrust

So your wood won't rot and your nails won't rust

So when your for first one reaches for its' mothers' breasts

He knows up from down, and he knows east from west

Show your neighbor what a friend is for

With an open heart and an open door

It takes more, more than a hammer

More than a hammer and nails

It takes more than a hammer and nails

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

It takes more, more than a hammer

More than a hammer and nails

It takes more than a hammer and nails

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home

To make a house a home
