Planning Permission
Building Dreams: A Vision with Two Hands and Twenty-Thousand Bricks
Lyrics
I'm a man with two good hands, two good hands and a plot of land
I possess two capable hands and a piece of land.
And I'm on a mission, I've got a vision and a planning permission
I am driven by a purpose, a clear vision, and official authorization for my plans.
I've got twenty-thousand bricks to lay
I have a large quantity of bricks to lay down.
Honey I don't have a place to stay
I lack a proper residence, only having a canvas tent.
I've just got this canvas tent and a machine to
I possess a canvas tent and a machine for mixing cement.
Mix the cement
I have equipment for cement mixing.
You think I've lost the plot
People might believe I've become unreasonable or irrational.
I have not!
I assure you I haven't.
I've sheltered you from the rain
I've provided you with shelter in adverse conditions.
You and I will defy the elements again!
We will confront and overcome challenges together once more.
I need a home in which to revel
I require a dwelling where I can take delight.
I need a place to keep my spirit level
I need a place to store my tool for leveling.
And I know the right guys
I am familiar with the right individuals because of my previous employment in the construction material industry.
Cause I used to work in building supplies
I previously worked in a building supply-related job.
Cramped in a humble abode
I lived in a small and modest dwelling.
Concrete and steel by the wheelbarrow load
I dealt with a significant amount of concrete and steel.
Fittings to choose, colour charts to peruse
I had to select fittings and review color charts for construction purposes.
I've got a trowel and I ain't afraid to use it!
I have a trowel for construction work and am not afraid to use it.
You think I've lost the plot
Others may think I'm acting irrationally or erratically.
I have not!
However, I assure you I am not.
I've sheltered you from the rain
I've provided you with protection from adverse weather.
You and I will defy the elements again!
We will overcome difficulties together once more.
Wow!
