Before this time, another year, i may be dead and gone But before i go, i want to let you know, i'll be moving to my brand new home This old building keeps on sinking and my soul choir Has got to move my soul choir
Has got to move there's a leak in this old building and my soul choir Has got to move move to another building choir There's a leak in this old building as a child, i loved hearing the song there's a leak in this old building, even though i couldn't really understand what the lyrics to this song meant I would get chills seeing the reactions of the people and all of the screaming and shouting
I knew this song had a powerful meaning.
There's a leak in this old building and my soul choir A building not made by man's hand verse When i can read, my title clear to mansions in the sky I'll bid farewell to all of my friends
