I once promised to take you out
I'm a man of my word
So don't you doubt
I'll rise up to the occasion
I'll build you a new nation
Where you can cry your guts right out
And in times when it gets rough
We'll manage to get back on top
It's pouring dirt
From clouds of mud
And the river's deep
From the flood
I'm gonna build you
That private arc
For your shiny things
Your goofy art
I'll be there
To steer the wheel
To guide you
Through these ordeals
Babe with you I sail the sea
And in times when it gets rough
We'll manage to get back on top
It's pouring dirt
From clouds of mud
And the river's deep
From the flood
And in times when it gets rough
We'll manage to get back on top
It's pouring dirt
From clouds of mud
And the river's deep
From the flood
