"My House" lyrics

"My House"
(originally from "Matilda" musical)

This roof keeps me dry when the rain falls
This door helps to keep the cold at bay
On this floor I can stand on my own two feet

On this chair I can write my lessons
On this pillow I can dream my nights away
And this table, as you can see
Well, it's perfect for tea

It isn't much, but it is enough for me
It isn't much, but it is enough –

On these walls, I hang wonderful pictures
Through this window, I can watch the seasons change
By this lamp, I can read!
And I... I am set free

And when it's cold outside, I feel no fear
Even in the winter storms, I am warmed
By a small but stubborn fire
And there is nowhere I would rather be

It isn't much, but it is enough for me

For this is my house
This is my house
It isn't much, but it is enough for me

This is my house
This is my house
It isn't much, but it is enough –

And when it's cold and bleak, I feel no fear
Even in the fiercest storms, I am warmed
By a small but stubborn fire
Even when outside, it's freezing
I don't pay much heed

I know that everything I need
Is in here
It isn't much, but it is enough for me
It isn't much, but it is enough for me
