Am                  G/B
Maybe I push when I meant to be still

F                   Dm7
Maybe I take it all too personal

Am         G/B          C
    Jesus, how to reconcile

    Am                G/B
The joyful noise, the ancient land

       F                Dm7
The tug from some invisible hand

    Am           G/B            Dm7
The dying mother weaving bulrushes

          F
Along the Nile

C         G/B             Am
Float her basket over the sea

          F                      G
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for

A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry

Don't you worry child, I wrote a lullaby

I try to settle, but I just pass through

     F        Dm7                Am
A rain dog, a gypsy, a wandering Jew

          G/B             C
All those homes where not ours

       Am                 G/B
Then I slept one night in Abraham's field

    F                   Dm7               Am     G/B
And dreamt there was no moon the night he died

         F
Counting stars, Selah
Chorus to Bridge: G
Am                 G                    Am
    Building you a home, building you a home

Building you a home, we're Building you a home, Selah

Float her basket over the sea

Don't you worry child, I wrote a lullaby

Float her basket over the sea

          F                      G
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for

  C           G/B                 Am
A tailwind to bring us your sweet cry

          F                                 G
Don't you worry child, I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
