Be a Builder

Music by Steve James
Lyrics by Steve and Lisa James
© 1999, B.M.I.
Performed by Nolanda Smauldon

(Verse)
They call me a builder
Cause I don't tear anybody down
I like to be a builder
Don't wanna see anybody frown
I like to make people feel better
Whenever I am around

(Chorus)
I like to shake someone's hand
Help them understand they're special
And that's my style
I'm part of a team to build self-esteem
So I go the extra mile
Cause I'm a builder
Constructin' somethin' worthwhile

(Verse)
I'm a builder
I won't tear anybody down
I'm a builder
I won't see anybody frown
I wanna make people feel better
Whenever I am around

(Repeat Chorus)

(Gospel Choir)
Build up my neighbor
Do the world a favor
With every labor
Build up my neighbor
I'm not gonna tear my neighbor down

(Repeat)
I'm gonna build up the world
I'm gonna be a builder
