Lyrics

Build Me a City © Jason Lloyd-Bevis


Gonna Build Me a City, Gonna Build Me a Wall
Gonna Build Me a City, At least a thousand feet tall

Cause deep inside and there is no light (x2)

Do you ever feel Pity, Do you ever feel Poor
Do you ever feel Haunted, And want to even the Score

Cause Deep inside an there is no light (x2)

Yeahhh....

Well my soul keeps on searching, but I don't know what for
Feels forever searching, Crawls along on the floor

Deep inside and there is no light (x2)

Now my baby has left me, flown across the sea
I won't see her tomorrow, and what will be will be

Cause deep inside and I can see no light (x2)

They keep on knocking us down

Gonna build me a ladder, climb on out of this place
Climb on up the ladder, and feel the sun on my face

Maybe baby I can see the light (x2)

Knock down the City
Knock down the Wall
Climb up the rubble
I'm gonna stand real tall ....

And yeah now baby I can see the light
I said yeah baby I can see the light

Yeahhh....

Good drive, vocal pushes this tune. I like the feel of the stops and restarts of this arrangement.
