lyrics

Build this house not on the sand
I don't want the carpentry of men

Build this house on stony land
So I will last

Build this house not on the sand
I don't want the carpentry of men

In hindsight I can see clearly
In hindsight I can see clearly
In hindsight I can see clearly
In hindsight I can see clearly
Clearly

I don't want the carpentry of men
I don't want the carpentry of men
I don't want the carpentry of men
I don't want the carpentry of men
Of men
Of men

My sins are the ocean
The devil the wind
This world is a lighthouse
With no keeper within
I cannot see

My sins are the ocean
The devil the wind
This world is a lighthouse
With no keeper within
I cannot see I cannot see

My sins are the ocean
The devil the wind
This world is a lighthouse
With no keeper within
I cannot see
