Architect - Frankie Big Face

I've set out on the high road
I'm traveling in a straight line
I'm aiming for the promised land
I'm living in the sunshine
I'm not talking 'bout a life beyond
I'm talking 'bout the here and now
I'm got a map and a blueprint to get me there
And if you want, I can show you how

If you want to feel the love of a woman
You got to give her what she's looking for
Flowers on her birthday are nice my friend
But she needs just a little bit more!

CHORUS:
If you architect a plan of mutual respect
You can build a house of love
If you engineer a machine that's fueled by fear
You may find yourself alone

I've stood on the mountain
I've knelt in the valley
I've sunk to the deepest depths
But I'm ready for a rally
I haven't been a perfect man
But the secret's been revealed to me
So gather round and listen to this cautionary tale
And your path will be easy to see

If you want to know the love of a woman
You got to give her everything she needs
Do you really need Aretha to spell it out
Just listen to me brother, please!

CHORUS

Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Well you better wake up right now!
