I was playing with my destiny
Yeah, I was just running, I just kept running
Found my way back to reality
The day you came knocking, when you came knocking
Just when I needed fresh air to breathe
You came to me, just like a dream
We're like a team and you set me free
You build me, build me up
I was almost breaking down
I praise the day you came around
Because when it seems my life is out of luck
Then you build me, build me up
... to my generation
There's so many expectations
When it seems that nothing's good enough
You build me up
I was such a self-destructive kind
Until you came knocking, 'till you came knocking
Don't know how I could have been so blind
Before you, you found me, before you found me
Just when I needed fresh air to breathe
You came to me, just like a dream
We're like a team, it's meant to be
You build me, build me up
I was almost breaking down
I praise the day you came around
Because when it seems my life is out of luck
Then you build me, build me up
A product of my generation
There is so many expectations
When it seems that nothing's good enough
You build me up
I was such a self-destructive kind
And I'm going to extremes
I almost lost my mind
But you build me up
(You build me up,up,up)
Cause you give me love
(You give me love, love, love)
And you build me, build me up
I was almost breaking down
I praise the day you came around
Because when it seems my life is out of luck
Then you build me, build me up
...to my generation
There's so many expectations
When it seems that nothing's good enough
Then you build me
You build me
U-u-u-up
You build me
U-u-u-up
You build me up!
