lyrics

(refrain)
You need to build it up.
Brick by brick.
Need to build it up.
Don't stop don't quit
Need to build it up.
You're never giving in,
You're never giving up,
You need to.
(repeat)

(1st verse)
Looking out at the dust and dirt
There's nothing out there
The world, there is just deserts
The air is foul and there's dirt
And your lungs they hurt.
You scowl and you stare
There is nothing worse.

But there for a second is a glimpse
Of green
A shot of sunlight.
A simple scene
If you've seen right, well this could mean more
Well this could mean awesome things
It's so raw

If you stand here might ruin your health
So here you stand and you do it yourself
Clear out the rubble.
Despair that's distilled in where your heart is
And then you start building, unskilled

You're still trying
Pure will
You start climbing
Reach higher
Your song
Your rising
Build it up
Before long then you're flying

(refrain)

(2nd Verse)
Sometimes life feels post-apocalyptic
Hopeless, lonely, lost in and cryptic
All is not lost
Everything ends
Whatever's up next
Well that all depends on...
You.

And which rules that you choose
Whether you break them
Or make something new.
Make your own landscape
Come into view
Make a new motto
"I will not loose"

Do what you got to.
Whether you machine to be
A microphone fiend
Or you're building machinery
It's all yours get to the good part
Only one law
"Make good art"

Make a good start
Together we're strong
And by the end of this song
We're get-a-getting it on
Life is designed to go and find your skills
And when you play this track
Why it's time to build!

(bridge)
I know it's difficult
I know it's hard
But it's all on us

(refrain)
