The Architect Songtext
von O.A.R.

Young man come to me
And asked me for a smoke
Straight off of Bourbon Street
Alley cat with a dirty coat

He said it′s hard out here just being me
When the people ain't the way that I want them to be
When I get the chance to build this world, I see
Make me believe, this life′s for me, and I will be free

That night, the architect can't sleep
He laying out his plan
For the building of a new foundation
Put together by a million hands

Beyond the wires, just meant to fly (fly)
Getting out there beyond the fences, into the sky
You know I'll find a place for my design
A new space for me and my peace of mind, yeah


I′m gonna build a home by the ocean
Underneath the sky
Gonna leave the door wide open
So, I can see everything

Gonna build a home by the ocean
Buried in the sand
Gonna leave the door wide open
So, I can sing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I′m gonna build a home by the ocean
Underneath the sky
Gonna leave the door wide open
So, I can see everything

Gonna build a home by the ocean
Then buried in the sand
I'm gonna leave the door wide open
So, I can sing


Woah! (Gonna build a home by the ocean)
Woah!
Woah! (I′m gonna leave the door wide open)
So, I can sing
Woah! (Gonna build a home by the ocean)
Woah!
So, I can sing
Woah! (I'm gonna leave the door wide open)
So, I can see everything
