Architect of Open Spaces

Architect of open spaces
Leave us a little room to move
Don't fill up all the empty spaces
Some things you can't improve

Teach us how to live please
We shouldn't have to try this hard
The entire family's on its knees
Shivering in the yard

Architect of open spaces
Whatever you build is gonna fall
Temporary masterpieces
On your temporary wall

Teach us how to live please
Lift us out of this mirage
With the infinite possibilities
Of your underground garage


Take another look at this virgin space
Never rush a commission
Never put a stone, put a stone in place
Till you're clear about your mission

Architect of open spaces
If you get stuck don't panic
Your artificial processes
Deep down are all organic

Teach us how to live please
Just don't block the view
The entire family's on its knees
But our eyes are on the wild blue
