lyrics

A wise man had a strong thought --
something to be written down
and passed around.
Been bouncing back and forth 'till now.
It came up in a coffee shop deep downtown.
Wouldn't fit in a suggestion box,
'cus words do
much better when spoken aloud
in a big voice
that feels good to hear
passionately ringing all around.

Building it up from the ground
into a sound

that calls me down the street,
carrying a question mark.
What secret
message can't these echos repeat?
So I turn the next corner and find
a couple dozen voices out
expressing ideas similar to mine.
So I --
I feel good, I feel
right at home contributing my time.

Building it up from the ground
into a sound,
deep and loud,
rumbling in my chest
and making me stronger.

Marching masses,
brass in the air and banners waving,
locked in a steady pulsing tempo.
Powerful footsteps churn and shake the very ground.

One by one by one,
growing even larger now
and raising eyebrows.
You can feel it all around you,
an avalanche is coming down
with force enough
to pound the landscape into
a new place,
where I feel good, because
everything's laid out the way we choose.

Building it up from the ground
into a sound,
deep and loud,
vibrating my skull
and blurring my vision.

Little hazy
mob in the middle of the city,
drunk on the volume of a thousand.
Watch that your weight don't bring your platform crumbling down.
