I've been building for long long time
I'm so high I am petrified
I'm hoping one day I can reach up to the sky
Then suddenly you reached your hand right out
And it all came crashing down
And as I'm falling I can hear the sound
I'm desperate and confused
Not understanding you
Why you broke everything down
Like the tower of babel
Was it always designed to fall
Or maybe we just all went wrong
It's like your speaking foreign now
Like the tower of babel
The sayings you should work smart not hard
But its diffrent when your wallets starved
And you can barely afford to pay the car
I asked for you to come and lead the way
Who knew youd lead me to my darkest day
And I can promise in three days I'll be okay
Going through life trying to put out the fires
Worry about that check engine and tires
Come to my show I am passing out flyers
But nobody came and now I am just tired
Rise in the east and its sets in the west
One day my children will put me to rest
But I can promise that we'll meet again
I'm desperate and confused
Not understanding you
Why you broke everything down
Like the tower of babel
Was it always designed to fall
Or maybe we just all went wrong
It's like your speaking foreign now
Like the tower of babel
I said I dont want to flow away
I really need to stay
My heart was yours and maybe was misplaced
I want to reach you again
