מילים לשיר The House You Live In – Gordon Lightfoot

Go first in the world, go forth with your fears
Remember a price must be paid
Be always too soon, be never too fast
Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children
At the time when all bets must be laid
And the house you live in will never fall down
Remember the woman who waits
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail
And the song that you sing should not be too sad
Beware of the dangers below
And know what they're doin' it for
And be sure not to sing it too slow
Be calm in the face of all common disgraces
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door
And the house you live in will never fall down
When you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost
Consider the burden of fame When other men fail at the game
Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places
And he who is wise will not criticize
Be careful while bending the law
And the house you live in will never fall down
When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door Is it money or love, is it learnin' to live
Decide what it is that you need
Or is it the mouth you must feed
On questions that do not relate
Be known as a man who will always be candid
And the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gateAnd the house you live in will never fall down.
