Build A House (with Yo-Yo Ma & Francesco Turrisi)

You brought me here to build your house

Build your house, build your house

You brought me here to build your house

And grow your garden fine

I laid the brick and built your house

Built your house, built your house

I laid the brick and built your house

Raised the plants so high

And when you had the house and land

The house and land, the house and land

And when you had the house and land

Then you told me, "go."

I found a place to build my house

Build my house, build my house

I found a place to build my house

Since I couldn't go back home

You said I couldn't build a house

Build a house, build a house

You said I couldn't build a house

So you burnt it down

So then I traveled far and wide

Far and wide, far and wide

And then I traveled far and wide

Until I found a home

I learned your words and wrote a song

Wrote a song, wrote a song

I learned your words and wrote a song

To put my story down

But then you came and took my song

Took my song, took my song

But then you came and took my song

Claimed it for your own

I took my bucket, lowered it down

Lowered it down, lowered it down

I took my bucket, lowered it down

The well will ne'er run dry

You brought me here to build a house

Build a house, build a house

You brought me here to build a house

I will not be moved

No, I will not be moved

No, I will not be, I will not be

I will not be moved
