Architecture

Straight lines up, straight lines down, 
Straight lines from left into right,
Using blue and green and shades between red, 
Shadowing into the night,

Lifting our world up to the stars, 
Lifting our dreams to the sky,
Lifting our thoughts of what can become, 
Answering our questions of why,

Whilst secretly, covertly, guarding us from, 
All of the rain that falls down,
Protecting us all from the hot and cold days, 
Protecting without making a sound,

Our beautiful buildings designed to be art, 
Designed with a love, with a smile,
Designed to be better than any old build, 
A building with a beautiful style.
