The Tower of Babel

I originally wrote this song on the most out-of-tune piano that you ever did see. The old thing was beat up, broken, and missing a leg. Some of the strings were broke and the rest were suffering because of it. The enamel on the keys was gone. And from that wreck, this song was born. I hope the version you hear on Future Music Now can capture the experience better than this demo, much as I love it.

Down is up and up is down.
Be because the world is so round.
"What if we built ourselves a tower?
And made a place for ourselves above?"

...dream
how you want to live
life could be quite grand
when you choose to
make it all you can
...love...
how you start to hear
life could be quite grand
when you choose to
build up towards what you
dream...

It don't matter if we fail.
Given time, everything fails anyway.
We can use the rocks that flew from the last one.
And love what we do what we love what we do is love.

Oh, is this love? This is just love!
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
And now we can all speak in tongues.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
You thought it would stay, but you c'ain't.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
Sing it with me, sing it proud.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.

When in ruins, do what the ruins do.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
Something old to make something true.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
And as the inside became the outside.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
Let love in with love let out.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.

Some call it work, but it's all we can do.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
Gee-wizz! It's better than digging graves.
The Tower of Babel is falling down.
And as we danced sun, moon, and star in our crown…
The Tower of Babel is falling…
Tower of Babel is falling…
Tower of Babel is falling…
Tower of Babel is falling…

Proud!
