[Verse 1]
I dreamed a dream of the bonny
A bonfire big and high
A fire so big that the flames light up the sky
I dreamed a dream of the bonny
In a vision in the back of my eye
And when the walls came down

One life is a short time
And no one knows where you go when you die
[Verse 3]
Go on and build the bonny

One life is a short time
And no one knows where you go when you die

Go on and build the bonny
Build the bonfire big and high
A fire so big that the flames light up the sky
Believe and build your bonny
Gonna never know unless you try
One life is a short time
And no one knows where you go when you die
For the people that you loved and lost
That you never got to tell goodbye
Stand tall while the walls fall down
With a smile and a tear in your eye
