lyrics

First
Gather all of the things you will need
Hammer, nails, lumber, carpet, glass, seed.
Grow your roots down deep

Then
Push the walls out as far as they'll go
Sink a stable storm cellar below.
Tar your roof watertight

Out and in - everything
Needs a place; make a place for each thing
In and out, with, without
What we thought we would have, we still build

Next
Fill your pantry with cans 'gainst the cold
All the blankets your closets will hold
Run a pipe to the spring

Now
Doors all open and let them come in
Feel them brush through your halls, skin to skin
And the building begins

Out and in, blood, breath, skin
Where we go when we don't know the way
In and out, rust, distance, doubt
And lose or find or forget, it's all kin
It's not locked, come in
