Lyrics
Di crowbar bite di termite-track inna di old pine floor.

[Chorus]
This cornerstone, mi lay it true.
Every plumb line straight, Mama, this house is for you.
Wipe the memory, build di new frame.
Mi hope Zion know mi still remember di name.

[Bridge]
Mi put di spirit level 'pon di new window sill.

But even with this quiet, mi feel a settling dust.
[Outro]
Seven walls up. One promise... just dust.
Di whole new frame.
