I dig my hole, you build a wall
I dig my hole, you build a wall
One day that wall is gonna fall
Gon' build that city on a hill
Gon' build that city on a hill
Someday those tears are gonna spill
So build that wall and
Build it strong 'cause
We'll be there before too long
Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Someday your bird is gonna fly
Gon' build that wall until it's done
Gon' build that wall until it's done
But now you've got nowhere to run
So build that wall and
Build it strong 'cause
We'll be there before too long

I set my sail
Fly, the wind it will take me
Back to my home, sweet home
Lie on my back
Clouds are making way for me
I'm coming home, sweet home
Build that wall and (I see your star)
Build it strong 'cause (you left it burning for me)
We'll be there before too long (Mother, I'm here)

I dig my hole, you build a wall (eyes open wide)
I dig my hole, you build a wall (feel your heart, and it's glowing)
One day that wall is gonna fall (I will come home, sweet home)
Gon' build that wall up to the sky (I take your hand)
Gon' build that wall up to the sky (now I'll never be lonely)
One day your bird is gonna fly (not when I'm home, sweet home)
Build that wall and (I see your star)
Build it strong 'cause (you left it burning for me)
We'll be there before too long (mother, I'm here)
