It's the People

It's the People
(Polman & Norwine)

We've sung about how to build a house
With a hammer and a saw and a drill
But we didn't really sing about what's inside this house
What's inside the house that you build
I'm not talking about the furniture or rugs
I'm not talking about the pictures on the wall
I'm talking about the most important things
It's what matters most of all

It's the people in our lives
The ones we love the most
It's our family and our friends
That turn our house into a home

Houses are made of brick and wood
Of wallpaper, paint and trim
But its not the building that fills our hearts
It's the folks we find within

It's the people in our lives
The ones we love the most
It's our family and our friends
That turn our house into a home

Well, you can have lots of stuff
You can have lots of things
Well, you can have games and toys and books
But really, they don't mean a thing
Cause when you need a hug
And when you need to cry
It's the people inside your home, with love
Who will wipe your teardrops dry

It's the people in our lives
The ones we love the most
Its our family and our friends
That turn our house into a home

It's the people
It's not the stuff in your house
It's not the furniture or rugs
It's the people

It's the people
It's your mommy, it's your daddy
It's your sister and your brother
It's the people

It's the people
It's the friends who come over
The way we treat each another
It's the way we live
It's how we share and how we show that we care
It's the people
It's the songs we sing
It's the laughter and joy that we bring

Well, it's the people
Yeah, it's the people
It's the people
Well, it's the people
It's the people
It's the people…
