Cerrone – Building A Temple Lyrics

I don't want to talk about
The same old situation
I've been down all those tracks before
Know where I'm stationed
Yeah, I've been disillusioned
But my spirit remained unbroken
Somehow I knew I'd see the truth
Without a word being spoken
And when money talked to me
It never said anything I needed to hear
Its promises of paradise
Were tricks and illusions

Here I stand
On my own two feet
I'm alive
Flesh and blood
I survive
With this heart
With these hands

I'm building a temple
Building a temple

Now love has been a word
I never truly understood
And if it got me through the night
It was the best I could hope for
Now I've left all those wilderness years behind me
Been running so hard not even my shadow could find me

Here I stand
On my own two feet
And I'm proud
And I'm here to face the crowd
With this heart
With this voice

Let's talk about life
Let's talk about hope
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about faith
I'm building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
I'm building a temple

Now I've found something to believe in
Brick by brick
Piece by piece
We're gonna build it up
No more tricks
Fandangled schemes

Here I stand
On my own two feet
And I'm proud
And I'm here to face the crowd
And with this heart
With this voice

Let's talk about life
Let's talk about hope
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about faith
Building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
Let's talk about life
Let's talk about hope
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about faith
Building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
Building a temple
I'm building a temple
