[Verse 1]
You see black, I see white
You say I'm wrong when I say I'm right
And we won't give in even if we fight
To get our own way
You want this, I want that
You say I never listen and that's a fact
But when I turn to you, you turn you back
Tell me why we've got to live this way
[Chorus]
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
[Verse 2]
Oh-oh-oh, you say I'm scared, I say I'm prepared
For the worst to come, you say it's all in my head
But I won't let go of the things that you did
Oh, Father teach my how to forget
You givе me all you got, but it just ain't enough
When I say lifе is easy, you say life is tough
Well I like it smooth sailing and you like it rough
Tell me are we ever gonna find love?
[Chorus]
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
[Bridge]
Tell me, when did the heart of the world grow cold?
Why do we live this way?
Tell me, where did all of the honest men go?
How did they lead us astray?
Tell me, when did the heart of the world grow cold?
Why do we live this way?
Tell me, where did all of the honest men go?
How did they lead us astray?
[Verse 3]
Give us the curse to put our hearts on the line
You see, love has no limits, so it's hard to define
But when I got your back, I hope you got mine
We're gonna help one another shine
Oh, we gotta take that step, that leap of faith
All in the hope of what we could create
You see, this ain't no coincidence, this is our fate
Do it now before it's all too late, too late, too late
[Chorus]
We've got to build our house on solid ground
We've got to build our house on solid ground
We've got to build our house on solid ground
We've got to build our house on solid ground
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
We've got to build our house on solid ground
Where it ain't ever gonna fall down
