Dirk Blanchart - building an empire lyrics
rate me<b>building an empire</b> by <i>Dirk Blanchart</i><br />Building an empire, stone by stone
Empires turn pale when once they shone
To capture the magic in its purest form
is why we are building empires, Lord
Building an aeroplane, big & tall
Airplanes, we know they can rise and fall
To capture the magic of a boyhood lost
is why we are building empires, Lord
We're bound to make the same mistakes again
I guess we'll never learn but we understand
that nothing lasts forever under the sun
but we can sing & dance on this holy ground
Building an empire, stone by stone
Empires turn pale when once they shone
To capture the magic in its purest form
is why we are building empires, Lord
There's something going on in this heart of mine
I reinforce what's strong & leave the rest behind
I know that words are bound to fade away
So I just live my live & I celebrate
Building a better world day by day
(a better world is coming, no it's not too late)
To capture the magic of the unicorn
(is why we are building a better world)
Building an empire, stone by stone
(empires turn pale when once they shone)
To capture the magic in its purest form
(Is why we are building empires, Lord)
is why we are building empires, Lord
(that's why)
