The Foundation Lyrics by Nicolas Godin

Concrete And Glass

2019

[Verse 1]
The generations, we hear them crack beneath
The soles of their shoes, they can't help from jumping in
Headfirst you're falling, you never felt so free
Until we let go then there's nothing intimate

[Chorus]
Our salvation could be within arms reach
But this foundation is our worst enemy
Our salvation could be within arms reach
But this foundation is our worst enemy

[Verse 2]
Unexpected responsibility
Of building a roof right over your lover's head
But if there's no means of making my family eat
Then I'll find me a place where.. where I can move my feet

[Chorus]
Our salvation could be within arms reach
But this foundation is our worst enemy
Our salvation could be within arms reach
But this foundation is our worst enemy

[Outro]
The foundation is our salvation
Stretch your arms
Touch the ceiling
And lay the bricks
Now you feel it

The foundation is our salvation
Stretch your arms
Touch the ceiling
And lay the bricks
Now you feel it

The foundation is our salvation
Stretch your arms
Touch the ceiling
And lay the bricks
Now you feel it

The foundation could be within arms reach
The foundation is our salvation
Could be within arms reach
The foundation is our salvation
Our salvation could be within arms reach
