[Verse 1]
I paid my dues
My family all stood tall
When the crash came they came with their hired hands
And they took it all

[Verse 2]
My anger knows no bounds
But I hold it deep inside
My love for this place stops my fist
As it starts to rise

[Chorus]
I built this house
The work of my own two hands
Let the wind blow
This house will stand
I found my home
The dream of a working man
Let the wind blow
This house will stand

[Verse 3]
New shadows cast their spell
The world looks different now
I work at a breathless pace
I keep my head but I don't know how
[Verse 4]
Great towers reach the sky
Dwarf me in their shadow
Effigies and monuments
That grow so high and keep us low

[Chorus]
I built this house
The work of my own two hands
Let the wind blow
This house will stand
I found my home
The dream of a working man
Let the wind blow
This house will stand

[Bridge]
In my heart this hope, I swear
We can heal, we can repair
These hands were never meant to dress
The wounds of millionaires

[Verse 5]
And take back this house
Where tears and laughter sound
We can build a life together
If we stand our ground
[Chorus]
I built this house
The work of my own two hands
Let the wind blow
This house will stand
I found my home
The dream of a working man
Let the wind blow
This house will stand

[Outro]
I built this house
The work of my own two hands
Let the wind blow
This house will stand
Let the wind blow
This house will stand
