The Architect

Young man, come to me and ask me for a smoke Straight off of Bourbon Street alley cat with a dirty coat He said it's hard out here just being me When the people light the way that I want them to be When I get the chance to build just what I see Make me believe this life's for me and I will be free That night, the architect can't sleep He's laying out his plans For the building with a new foundation Built together by a million hands Beyond the wires, just meant to fly Getting out there beyond the fences into the sky You know I'll find the place for my design A new space for me and my piece of mind, yeah I wanna build a home by the ocean Underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open So I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean Buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing Oh, yeah, yeah yeah I wanna build a home by the ocean Underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open So I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean Buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing I'm gonna build a home by the ocean Gonna leave the door wide open So I can sing Build a home by the ocean So I can sing Leave the door wide open So I can see everything
