Hello, this is me to you
It's better now we're comin' through
And I don't really know just who we are

I'll stay here till my love's full up
So stir this cocktail, shake me up
Drink me down and take me from the bar

We'll build a foundation
Build a foundation
Build a foundation
You know we got to build, build it up

Spent the night in Tumbledown
A hundred miles from west of town
Plans were laid, no compromise was made

Gently up to meet the blue
Left a note and signed it "True"
Those construction games were all we played

We'll build a foundation
Build a foundation
Build a foundation
Yeah we're gonna build, build it up

Oh, I know you're gonna give your best
So more or less, gotta put it to the test
Don't you know, you've got the whole world in your hands

Surrender up and lay down your arms
The fightin' hurts but the lovin' calms
Oh, I know you've got the whole world in your hands

We'll build a foundation
Build a foundation
Build a foundation
You know we got to build, build it up

We'll build a foundation
Build a foundation, build it up
Build a foundation, build it up
You know we got to build
