Building Up a Ruin to Come Lyrics


There is a hole in heaven

and another one in our world

Crying rain fills them both with tears

Oh I'm building up a house of happiness

And I'll always remember:

A House divided cannot stand

Building up a ruin to come:

On that liquid shaky ground

We shall lay foundations for

a hiding place to sleep in

Oh I'm building up a house of happiness

And I'll always remember:

A House divided cannot stand

Building up a ruin to come:

Waves get posts and winds are props

Water builds up walls between

Pearls piled up for tight roofing

Oh I'm building up a house of happiness

And I'll always remember:

A House divided cannot stand

My house cannot stand.
