"If You Build It" lyrics

"If You Build It"

If you build it
Will they come?
Do we really?
Do we all shine on?
What's the lifespan?
Of the moon and the stars and the sun?
Does every acorn, a tree become?

It's time to mobilize the forces
For a leader, to emerge
It's time to harness the horses
Give direction to the young man's urge
Either it's all important, or none of it is
Refine, reduce, distill the harvest
Give to each, only what is his

Why is sleep so tiring?
Does anyone here understand the wiring?
I am bored of taking two steps, and turning on the third
Let me yoke the wheel, and make it more than words
Let me see something to which so far, I've only heard

If you build it
Will they come?
Do we really?
Do we all shine on?
What's the lifespan?
Of the moon and the stars and the sun?
Does every acorn, a tree become?

If you build it
Will they come?
Do we really?
Do we all shine on?
What's the lifespan?
Of the moon and the stars and the sun?
Does every acorn, a tree become?

Ooooooh Oooooh

A lawful, accidental, unexpectedness
Breaks up the day
Let's me see straight, more or less
But is it enough, to break the play?

Why is sleep so tiring?
Does anyone here understand the wiring?
I am bored of taking two steps, and turning on the third
Let me yoke the wheel, and make it more than words
Let me see something to which so far, I've only heard

If you build it
Will they come?
Do we really?
Do we all shine on?
What's the lifespan?
Of the moon and the stars and the sun?
Does every acorn, a tree become?

Ooooooh Oooooh
(What can we guarantee?)

If you build it
(I don't know what I can guarantee, but I know that nothing's free)
Will they come?
(I don't know what is awaiting me, but I guess I'll wait and see)
Do we really?
(I don't know what I can guarantee, but I know that nothing's free)
Do we really?
(I don't know what is awaiting me, but I guess I'll wait and see)
All shine on

Do we all shine on?
Do we all shine on?
