Building Rome
Music & Words: Greg Gerard
McMahon Music Publishing, BMI

Ya, I’m losing it again
Can’t keep my fingers on the pen
No big ideas in my head
No line of wisdom to be shed

Time remains my enemy
One giant step ahead of me
Still playing catch me if you can
Taking my chance to be better then I am

Chorus:
I’m building Rome and I only got a day
Any fool or bitter Wiseman knows it can’t be done that way
And yet I stand before these seven hills with dirty feet of clay
And I won’t be coming home until I finish building Rome

Ya, I’m sorry for myself
I got my pity got my hell
I wish for something more to say
I wish that wish would get up and go away

Chorus:
I’m building Rome and I only got a day
Any fool or bitter Wiseman knows it can’t be done that way
And yet I stand before these seven hills with dirty feet of clay
And I won’t be coming home until I finish building Rome

What do I say to time and you?
Don’t bother me I’ve got a lot to do

Chorus:
I’m building Rome and I only got a day
Any fool or bitter Wiseman knows it can’t be done that way
And yet I stand before these seven hills with dirty feet of clay
And I won’t be coming home until I finish building Rome

I’m building Rome and I only got a day
Any fool or bitter Wiseman knows it can’t be done that way
And yet I stand before these seven hills with dirty feet of clay
And I won’t be coming home until I finish building
Finish building, finish building Rome
