It's bigger than we thought, It's taller than it ought to be, This pile of rubble and ruins The neighbors must talk. It's the worst yard on the block Just branches and boards Where walls once stood. Did it seem to you Like the storm just knew? We weren't quite finished With the roof when it started.
So we build, we build We clear away what was And make room for what will be. If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. If you will then I'll build.
On any given day We could simply walk away And let someone else hold the pieces. The lies that we tell Say it's better somewhere else, As if love flies south when it freezes.
What I'm trying to say, In some clumsy way Is that it's you And only you for always.
That's why we build, we build We clear away what was And make room for what will be. If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. If you will then I'll build.
What I'm trying to say, In some clumsy way Is that it's you And only you not just for now, Not just today, But it's you and only you for always
So if you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. If you will then I'll build.
