Young man come to me And asked 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 And the people ain't the way that I want them to be When I get the chance to build this world I see Make me believe, this life's for me, and I will be free That night the architect can't sleep He laying out his plan For the building of a new foundation Put 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 a place for my design A new space for me and my piece of mind, yeah I'm gonna 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 Burried in the sand Gonna leave the door wide open So I can sing I'm gonna 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 Burried in the sand I'm gonna leave the door wide open So I can sing Woah Woah Woah So I can see everything
