First Stage - A - Osho

Day breaks and a single man With one hammer and two hands He begins with a nail and plank Steel pushing through the wood grain And all the racket he makes from this one man crew Draws another man seeking to build, too Now with four strong arms on one design The mallets move along in double time Hey brother, it's time to put your hands on 'Cause we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on Getting taller and taller From the ground it began on And we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on When the day breaks again The two men return to where they've been To see the crowd of people gathered With saws, ropes, and ladders The cast of workers hoist and heave And their labor sounds much like a symphony So many heads and hands composing in The last nails close and closing in Hey brother, it's time to put your hands on 'Cause we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on Getting taller and taller From the ground it began on And we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on Then it happens The pounding ceases And on the land A structure stands made from thousands of pieces Illuminated, standing strong The stage is finished now Built for all to stand on Hey brother, it's time to put your hands on 'Cause we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on Getting taller and taller From the ground it began on And we're building a stage to stand on Oh we're building a stage to stand on
