Lyrics
Build it
Hold some straw in your hands
You're gonna find it
And live on your own piece of land
But once you are in it
It just takes a minute
For the big bad wolf to blow
You know the big bad wolf will blow
That didn't happen
Like youa hoped that it could
So you're gonna will build it
From the finest of wood
If there's a crack in the ceiling
No matter how you are feeling
The big bad wolf will blow
You know the big bad wolf will blow
Daylight and moonlight
They shine for you and me
But when the light wanes
The hurricanes
Will give you the eyes to see
So now you'll to build it
Out of mortar and stone
So you can be certain
You'll be defending your home
But there's a crack in the mortar
Disobeying your order
The big bad wolf will blow
You know the big bad wolf will blow
We're living
In our giving
So just take a moment or two
To uncover
And discover that
Your house is built on gratitude
And I'm grateful for you
