Build a mighty edifice to lean against the sky

Carve your name upon the gate in letters ten feet high

Brick, steel, paint and glass, this one thing will last

This alone survive the wrath of the wind's mighty path



Winds howl, flood will rise, earth will open wide

Smoke and thunder fill the skies, there'll be no place to hide

Time is just a shadow on the surface of the sun

Life is just a place to stand until your time is run



Build a mighty edifice to lean against the sky

Are you satisfied with this or do you wish to fly

And having flown will you contented be to die?

Having to yourself been true, or will your heart still sigh?

For bigger things and better things, for greater wealth and fame

Is love a worthy sacrifice at the altar of your name?

Time is just a shadow on the surface of the sun

Life is just a place to stand until your time is run



Far beyond the telling of the tower builder's art

Build yourself a dwelling in a loving human heart

Be kind to all your friends for you know not the hour

Of beginnings nor of ends, you do not have that power



Time is just a shadow on the surface of the sun

Life is just a place to stand until your time is run

A shadow of a shadow on the surface of the sun

Life is just a place to stand until your deal is done
