Lyrics

I learned by Alexandra Higgins. 2025


I can close my eyes

See the house

The furniture in the rooms

And the

pictures on the walls


light filtering through windows

Leave shadows on the floor

The dark narrow halls

And

Old wooden doors



I learned a lot from that house

Growing up in the country

Don't take more than you need

And you never went hungry

To Take your hat off

At the kitchen table

To give back when you can

When you were able

Nothing

Like hard work

To be thankful

For

what

I earned

And truly grateful

For all that

I learned


The little bedroom

At the top of the stairs

Blue flower wallpaper

Walls needed repair

Always neat and tidy

But forever growing old

The bedroom I grew up in

The story unfolds



I learned a lot from that house

Growing up

in the country

Don't take more

than you need

And you never

went hungry

Take your hat off

At the kitchen table

To give back when you can

When you were able

Nothing

Like

hard work

To be thankful

For what

I earned

And grateful

For all that

I learned

Break (humming )




Grateful for all that

I learned.
