about

Written at a bus stop in Washington DC, the song became the title track of Spottiswoode & His Enemies' gospel-tinged second album.

lyrics

They're building a road
From the moon to the sun
Then they'll build another road
When that road is done
They're working so hard
But they've only just begun
Building that road
From the moon to the sun

And everybody (everybody) everybody wants to succeed
And everybody (everybody) everybody longs to be free
And everybody (everybody) everybody's looking for love
So they're building a road from the moon to the sun
Yes they're building a road from the moon to the sun

I'll sing them a song
From the side of the hill
And they'll sing along
I know that they will
It once was a dream
But now it's gonna be real
Cause they're building that road
With concrete and steel

And everybody (everybody) everybody wants to succeed
And everybody (everybody) everybody longs to be free
And everybody (everybody) everybody's looking for love
So they're building a road from the moon to the sun
Yes they're building a road from the moon to the sun

We're building a road
From the moon to the sun
Then we'll build another road
When that road is done
We're working so hard
But we've only just begun
Building that road
From the moon to the sun

And everybody (everybody) everybody wants to succeed
And everybody (everybody) everybody longs to be free
And everybody (everybody) everybody's looking for love
So we're building a road from the moon to the sun
Yes we're building a road
