Jack and Danielle were barely 21
When they went to tell her folks about their plans
Her old man said, "You're both crazy, and you're way too young
You can't afford a house or even a piece of land"
Jack said, "Sir, I know you think that we're naive
But I promise to take care of her for you, 'cause I believe
If love is your foundation, you'll always have a home
Hearts are all that matter, worth more than wood and stone
No, it's not what I can buy or not that's gonna keep us strong
We got something, something to build on"
Last night they ran a story on the evening news
A storm blew in and took out half the town
It broke my heart to see a couple interviewed
A few family photographs were all they found
While the cameras rolled, he said, "We'll be OK"
Put his arms around his wife, then I heard him say
If love is your foundation, you'll always have a home
Hearts are all that matter, worth more than wood and stone
It's not what we lost, it's what we've got, that's gonna keep us strong
And yeah, that's something, something to build on"
