(aaah) Way too many times Have I waited for my life to start We are never satisfied Just an eternal climb What are we hoping to find? All I really gotta do is look around, Right here is where we're bound to be If someday life would fall apart (If someday life would fall apart) You need a firm foundation So build your houses on the rock We'll stand strong no matter what we're facing Ooo Ooo I will build my life on a love that never dies You're the solid ground beneath my feet And I'll have peace throughout the pain See sunshine through the rain Though everything may change, You'll stay the same If someday life would fall apart (If someday life would fall apart) You need a firm foundation (You need a firm foundation) So build your houses on the rock We'll stand strong no matter what we're facing (We'll stand strong, we'll stand strong) We'll stand strong no matter what we're facing (aah)
