|
i wanted to make something sweet |
|
the blood inside a maple tree |
|
the sunlight trapped inside the wood |
|
make something good |
|
i wanted to make something strong |
|
an organ pipe in a cathedral |
|
that stays in tune through a thousand blooms |
|
make something good |
|
it's a gonna take a long, long time |
|
but we're gonna make something so fine |
|
i wanted to make something pure |
|
an emerald field from steer manure |
|
a wild-eyed child in a moonlit room |
|
make something good |
|
i wanted to make something built to last |
|
a bottled ship with a golden mast |
|
and through the squall the course stays true |
|
make something good |
|
make something good |
|
it's gonna take a long, long time |
|
but we're gonna make something so fine |
|
it's gonna take a long, long time |
|
but we're gonna make something so fine |
