Build Your Nest
Maurice White & Verdine White

Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest on tenderness

The nest is yo' home and launchin' pad
Vibes ain't good, hey, gotcha' feelin' sad

Build a nest on love that tells it all
Give you the strength to walk proud and tall

With a song in yo' heart most every day
Is what you need along the way

Things get rough, pain comes around
Put up yo' dukes, knock it to the ground

Now if it gets back up, do it over 'gain
Smack it hard on the chinny-chin-chin

Now things around you can't do you no harm
Think about love in yo' happy home
