We'll build a house
We'll build a house and we'll make it better
Than it was before
We walked through walls
This is how we'll leave here
We can help ourselves if we want to
And behind our eyes
We have sold out for our families
We're lost when you're gone
And we'll be here
We're lost when you're gone
We could end up dead here
On the news not national but local
Leaving all we know
And all we loved
This is how we'll leave here
On our own to make us better
Than it was before
We lived among the needy
We're lost when you're gone
And we'll be here
We're lost when you're gone
