Lyrics

Build High

[Chorus] Build high, build high Build high, build high [Verse 1] 'Cause my old man is bleeding And my poor dog needs feeding And this time I'm really broke So let me feel your leg of hope around me [Chorus] Build high, build high Build high, build high I said build high, yeah, build high Build high, build high Build high, build high [Verse 2] Hold me up with pride Cause I'm not beautiful and I don't have no pretty friends, can't pretend I'm tired of believing in the things that go on here Lately it makes me feel just like I'm forming in the air air air [Chorus] Build high, build high Build high, build high I said build high, yeah, build high Build high, build high Build high, build high
