Inside my chest there is a house,
Where many feet have tread.
Behind a sturdy bony blouse,
Where many stories have been read.
All doors and windows will remain,
Forever open in this house.
So that no one can e'er refrain,
From coming in or going out.
All are welcome in my house,
No matter what or who you are.
The light therein i'll never douse,
That it may be seen from afar.
