Gonna build a castle (Build a castle)
Gonna build it high (Build it high)
Gonna build it brick by brick
And stone by stone
Till it reaches up to the sky

When the sun goes down and the wind gets cold
We'll be warm inside
The storm will keep on brewin'
But we'll have a place to hide

Oh oh, the voice don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh oh, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in
When the light shines in

Gonna build a palace (Build a palace)
Gonna build it grand (Build it grand)
Gonna build it floor by floor
And wall by wall
With our hearts and with our hands

When we step outside into the breeze
We'll know our commands
We'll walk into the garden
And we'll live upon this land
Oh oh, the voice don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh oh, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in
When the light shines in

Gonna build a fortress (Build a fortress)
Gonna build it strong (Build it strong)
Gonna build it bolt by bolt
And plate by plate
Gonna build it all day long

We're gonna make it through the winter snow
'Cause we know right from wrong
Our house will still be standing
When the world is all but gone

Oh oh, the voice don't lie
We're gonna be safe and sound tonight
Oh oh, the strong don't cry
Gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in (light shines in)
When the light shines in (light shines in)
When the light shines in (light shines in)
When the light shines in
When the morning light shines in
