This old building keeps on sinking and my soul choir
Has got to move my soul choir
Has got to move there's a leak in this old building and my soul choir Has got to move move to another building choir There's a leak in this old building, y'all and my soul (has got to move) i've got another building, ooh, yeah (a building not made by man's hands) this old building keeps on leanin', y'all There's a leak in this old building and my soul [choir:] has got to move move to another building [choir:] a building not made by man's hand [verse:] when i can read, my title clear to mansions in the sky
I'll bid farewell to all of my friends God said he would wipe my weeping eyes [chorus:] this old building keeps on sinking and my soul In lashun pace's there's a leak in this old building, the lyrics convey a powerful spiritual journey and a deep yearning for transcendence
