I've been working overtime
Trying to make a kingdom that's all mine
And I've been reaching for the skies
On my own ambition
Laying bricks on the shifting sand
Piling them high but it won't stand
Oh I need to start again
On the right foundation
I need to come down, down, down
I was born with my head in the clouds
And my heart ten thousand feet off the ground
And I was so high I didn't wanna come down
But if you wanna build a house gotta start on the ground
Long ago on a distant sea
There walked a man from Galilee
And He came to set men free
And heal the nations
Kneeling down to wash their feet
He said, 'The greatest among you shall be the least
And if you follow and do like Me
You won't be swept away'
I need to come down, down, down
I was born with my head in the clouds
And my heart ten thousand feet off the ground
And I was so high I didn't wanna come down
But if you wanna build a house gotta start on the ground
So I'm going low
And I'm digging deep
To place my feet on the rock
So I'm going low
And I'm digging deep
To place my feet on the rock
So I'm going low
And I'm digging deep
To place my feet on the rock
I was born with my head in the clouds
And my heart ten thousand feet off the ground
And I was so high I didn't wanna come down
But now I'm laying my foundation on the Rock that I found
I was born with my head in the clouds
And my heart ten thousand feet off the ground
And I was so high I didn't wanna come down
But if you wanna build a house gotta start on the ground
