Verse

Started off all alone

Corner stone in the basement

I was out in the cold

Something I was chasing

To afraid to be bold

And I'm so lost

Silhouettes with the lights off

I might fight with my thoughts in the dark

Pre-Chorus

I look up at the sky

Stars remind me

I can shine

Architect of my life

Life I desire

I'm going to build from the ground up

Thinking I found up (?)

Sound foundation

Chorus

Just be patient

When the wind blows

And the wall start shaking

Yeah you know that you can

Stop the floor from breaking

Stop the roof from caving

Cause you know your made of

A sound foundation

Verse

Fix the crack in the ceiling

Make space for a new life

Take some time for healing

Paint walls and it feels like

Things are starting to feel right

I realize I go further

Lift up the curtain

Let in the light

Pre-Chorus

I look up at the sky

Stars remind me

I can shine

Architect of my life

Of the life I desire

I'm going to build from the ground up

Thinking I found up (?)

Sound foundation

Chorus

Just be patient

When the wind blows

And the wall start shaking

Yeah you know you can

Stop the floor from breaking

Stop the roof from caving

Cause you know your made of

A sound foundation

Just be patient

When the wind blows

And the wall start shaking

Yeah you know you can

Stop the floor from breaking

Stop the roof from caving

Cause you know your made of

A sound foundation
