This is a song about a man who built a house and has a completely different meaning.....
Lyrics:
A man had a dream for a project all alone
he could build a house on his own
friends thought him crazy for his choice of fun
he might not live to see it done
They offered to help or it would take too long
but he just smiled , you could be wrong
With just his hammer and his trusted saw
to erect his project of awe
Chorus 1
Be careful to judge a man with a dream
he can probably do more than it would seem
It doesn't matter how long it might take
He's building his castle —- for its own sake
He found some land just far enough away
big trees to harvest to build his way
with research on the trusses and beams.
It was easier than what it first seemed.
His project was taxing, slow as some feared
it took years just to get the forest cleared
those who visited just shook their heads
talked about how this would end as they said
Chorus 2
A man with a plan gets things done as dreamed
with every day action, a full head of steam
as small as each step that can hardly show
his dedication would ——make it grow
The man persisted with daily labor of love
before you knew it a roof was above
The hammer worked perfect to drive nails
the saw kept sharp to rip rails.
Finale
Then one day the sun rose bright and clear
folks could see that the finish day was here
It had all the features of his visioned plan
done by the hammer and saw…. in his hand.
