Background

A House of I

I went on an adventure
Grabbed resources and making deeds
Like start to work on the materials
To build the shelter I need

It was a marvelous one
At least in the eyes of mine
And when the sun sets
I go inside

I went to sleep in comfort
Hoping to show it to comrades
Dreaming of dreams
In the hours that pass

Next day I wake up
I find myself in a pickle
"My house is gone, oh dear!"
Now I feel ill

I can't find a place to live
Then there I find thou
I have a simple request
"Can you make me a house?"

As some time pass by
You built such structure with potential
When you said it's made of code
You're who I'd call special
