Give me something to build upon
Something that I can see
Give me something to build upon
Right here in front of me
If I can't build it with hands
Give me something that I can
If I can't build it with hands
Give me something that I can
Give me something I can build upon
Something that I can see
My head is hurting
My back is breaking from this burden
It's so hard waiting while there's
So much work to be done
Give me something I can build upon
Give me something I can do right now
Something that I can change
Give me something I can do right now
Sitting here feels so strange
If I say then I should do
Lord, keep me to these words
If I say then I should do
Lord, keep me to these words
Give me something I can do right now
Something that I can change
My head is hurting
My back is breaking from this burden
It's so hard waiting while there's
So much work to be done
Give me something I can build upon
My head is hurting
My back is breaking from this burden
It's so hard waiting while there's
So much work to be done
Give me something I can build upon
Something I can build upon
