Well I've heard of a man to rule over all other fellow man with an iron fist
And he made those fellow man work like dogs under the blazing sun
And as the cruel king with a slavery-gaze turned to set his eyes in the dirt
To the children playing, laughing, singing, saying sweet lullabies
While the parents worked
Wonderful homes
Rest around our happiness and I
If I could be so bold as to
Rest next to you
Soothe my bones
Now, down in the village Freddy comes home late
With blistered hands and calloused feet
And just one single room away
His darling and baby lay hush, hush sleeping
Just soundly dreaming
And as the brightness of the Love
Soaked the wood and mended the stone
Freddy sat there and understood that through it all
He still lived in such a wonderful Home
Wonderful homes
Rest around our happiness and I
If I could be so bold as to
Rest next to you
Soothe my bones
