Cathedral

Well I’m building my cathedral
And simple though it seems
The foundation’s here, the walls are up
And love supports the beams

Everyday I’m adding something new
Everyday it’s taking shape
It’s designed by a master craftsman
You know it’s built by the choices I make

My life is my cathedral
And the doors are never closed
But I’m always under construction
So wear your hardhat and watch your toes

Well maybe when you come here
We’ll find a comfy place to rest
Yes, or maybe we’ll need to renovate
After we have confessed

When you look at it you may see beauty
Or you may see the cracks and the flaws
But I just hope that you’ll stay for awhile
And you’ll visit me because

My life is my cathedral
It’s a house of dominoes
It’s just systematically falling down
When life deals out the blows

Well the altar’s washed with tears here
The windows are a little blurred
There’s a simple silly beauty
That to some might seem absurd

Some walls are painted wildly
Some rooms you will never see
Hey but if you come in peace my friend
You can take a tour with me

My life is my cathedral
And the work is never done
It’s a labor of love, it’s a masterpiece
And the fun has just begun

When you look at it you may see beauty
Or you may see the cracks and the flaws
But I just hope that you’ll stay for awhile
And visit me because

My life is my cathedral
And the doors are never ever closed
But, I’m always under construction
Always under construction
I’m just always under construction
So wear your hardhat and watch your toes
