Working on a Building of Love Lyrics

I read a book the other day
That changed my life in every way
It read ”Noa build an ark
Before the rain begins to start”
Now I'm doing, I'm doing my part

I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone

I turned the pages of the book
And gave my life a second look
It read ”Blessed be the poor”
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
We should love, love one another

I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Everybody, let's get together

I've got a hammer, I've got a plan
Gonna be a shelter for everyone
Call it out across the nation
Gonna get together, it's a strong foundation
You and me, me and you, him and her, everyone
Everybody, let's get together

Working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Everybody, let's get together

I read a book the other day
That changed my life in every way
It read ”Noa build an ark 
Before the rain begins to start”
Now I'm doing, I'm doing my part

I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone

I turned the pages of the book
And gave my life a second look
It read ”Blessed be the poor”
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
We should love, love one another

I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
I'm working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Everybody, let's get together

I've got a hammer, I've got a plan
Gonna be a shelter for everyone
Call it out across the nation
Gonna get together, it's a strong foundation 
You and me, me and you, him and her, everyone
Everybody, let's get together

Working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Working on a building of love
Gonna build it in the name of everyone
Everybody, let's get together

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
