Gonna build a castle
Gonna build it high
Gonna build it brick by brick
And stone by stone
Till it reaches up to the sky
When the sun goes down and the wind gets cold
We'll be warm inside
The storm will keep on brewin'
We'll have a place to hide
And we'll sing
Oh Lord, the boys don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh Lord, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in
When the light shines in
Gonna build a palace
Gonna build it grand
Gonna build it floor by floor
And wall by wall
With our hearts and with our hands
When we step outside into the breeze
We'll know our commands
Walk into the garden
And we'll live upon this land
And we'll sing
Oh Lord, the boys don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh Lord, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in
When the light shines in
Ooohhh...
When the light shines in
Gonna build a fortress
Gonna build it strong
Gonna build it boat by boat
And plaid by plaid
Gonna build it all day long
We're gonna make it through the winter snow
'Cause we know right from wrong
A house will still be standing
When the world is all but gone
And we'll sing
Oh Lord, the boys don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh Lord, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in
When the light shines in
When the morning light shines in
Ooohhh...
