Gordon Lightfoot, "The House You Live In"

When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail 

Beware of the dangers below 

And the song that you sing should not be too sad 

And be sure not to sing it too slow 

Be calm in the face of all common disgraces 

And know what they're doin' it for 

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at your door ...
