"Bible Bystanders"

[rhu]

I've updated the "Bible Bystanders" website (www.BibleBystanders.com) with some real content --- two more demo mp3s (lacking vocals, though) and lyrics and pdf scores for three pieces.

I'm having some trouble with the lyrics to "Build It High", though. Here's what I have so far. Some of it is decent, but a lot of it stinks. Probably because I'm being too ambitious vis-a-vis the short lines and tight rhyme scheme. You can download the vocal-less mp3 if you want to hear how it all fits together. (There's a 30-second instrumental intro; the "horn" sound represents the vocal.)

I'd appreciate suggestions in the comments section.

[UNISON]

Let's build a tower
Tall as we can.
Gonna build it high,
To the sky,
Heaven is our plan.

We've got the power
(To) build past the moon.
Gonna build it high,
To the sky,
We will see God soon.

----

Don't drop a brick, not
At any cost.
Gonna build it high,
To the sky,
If you slip, you're lost.

Working as one, got
(To) use our know-how.
Gonna build it high,
To the sky,
God can't stop us now.

You're speaking nonsense /
That sounds absurd. /
Did you hear that guy? /
You and I
Can't make out a word. /

Give up the pretense.
(Oh,) why did I roam?
Gonna say goodbye.
Don't ask why:
I am going home.
