The House You're Building
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, these are old shoes that I’ve been walking in
I’m wearing weary like it’s a second skin
I’ve been looking for a place to lay my head
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I’ve been wandering
All my life You’ve been calling me
To a home You know I’ve been needing
I’m a broken stone
So lay me in the house You’re building
(Yeah, come on)
You are a shelter for every misfit soul
We are the four walls, and You’re the cornerstone (You are)
And You’re the solid rock that we are built upon
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I’ve been wandering
All my life You’ve been calling me
To a home You know I’ve been needing
I’m a broken stone
So lay me in the house You’re building
‘Cause in You I find my meaning, yeah
And in You I find my beauty
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I’ve been wandering
All my life You’ve been calling me
To a home You know I’ve been needing
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I’ve been wandering
All my life You’ve been calling me
To a home You know I’ve been needing
I’m a broken stone
So lay me in the house You’re building
Lay me in the house You’re building
In the house You’re building
