We're building a wall that cannot fall Building a house for free A place for each stick, we're making it quick Making it out of a Tree It may take a while, take a while Never on sand, but firmly on land Working ahead of the clock No minute to lose, awaiting the news Waiting on top of the Rock It may take a while, it may take a while The stones are all people, we're building a steeple Even a place for a bell And if there's time, this building sublime Has beautiful stories to tell It may take a while, it may take a while A while, a while To tell, to tell... tell!
