about

The title track of my last CD before this EP, "Building This House" is a celebration of life. I chose to include it on this CD because it seems to have found itself between that last recording and now. I wanted to share it's new more grounded, organic incarnation here on this EP dedicated to moving on and working through.

lyrics

I am building this house Brick by Brick board by board
I am Building this house for my love
I am building this house for the family
The family we have not yet begun

I am plowing this field seed by seed, row by row
I am plowing this field for my love
I am sowing these seeds to feed a family
The family we’ll raise beneath the sun

I will raise these boards one by one
I will tend this field in the heat of the summer sun
I have just begun building this house

I am raising you up day by day, year by year
I am raising you up on my love
I am raising you up you are my family
A family sent down by God above

I will take each day one by one
I will teach you to climb each mountain as it comes
I have just begun building this house

I’m not afraid of a day’s hard work
I’m not afraid to dig down deep in the cold dark earth
I’ll dig deep to find what’s worth my time in this life
And build you this house

I will raise these boards one by one
I will teach you to climb each mountain as it comes
I have just begun building this house

Building this house
Brick by brick, board by board
Building this house
Day by day, year by year
Building this house
Building this house
Building this house
