Isn't it strange
how princesses and kings

In clown-ragged
capers in sawdust rings

And just while common
people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity

Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass
and the book of rules

Each must make his life as flowing in

Tumbling block on a stepping stone

And just while common
people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity

Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass

and the book of rules

I see common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity

Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules

Look when the rain has fallen from the sky

I know the sun will be
only with us for a while

I see common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity

Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules

I see common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity

Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
