 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
