D-DU-UDU
 The day our house collapsed I
 went down stream
 I followed  the swans
 Like i follow  my dreams.
 oh! i was living on borrowed time in a
 borrowed house for a borrowed crime.
 in need of help i came to your door.
 saw the spike of the railings from
 the 28/3rd floor.
 singing
 "build your castle, stop collecting stones
 and the river bed shall not be your home"
 To the lighthouse  my friend!
 I bless  your words and education
 To the lighthouse  my friend.
 just go!  just go!
 To the lighthouse my friend.
 I am sorry that you came to find
 "great, great minds
 against themselves conspire'
 now the bombs drop around our feet,
 do we throw them back
 or bow and greet them.
 everyone now, is so terrifyed
 of the glowing dark
 and those orange skies.
 sing it:
 'build your castle, stop throwing stones
 cos' those fire birds are
 coming down on our homes"
 To the lighthouse my friends
 it cannot even be a question
 To the lighthouse my friends
 we must go, we must go
