Buildings Rise is an original song, depicting the contrast between the monotony of traditional, uninspired corporate brokerages and the vibrant vision of real estate developers who transform land into iconic buildings and vibrant communities, and the land owners who have either the foresight or good fortune to own the “urban gold” underneath and who are an undeniable part of the process of creation.

Ultimately, this song conveys the power of creativity in building not just structures, but in building the deal itself. It is intended to demonstrate the artistry required to transcends conflict and create unity, even among parties who may never speak directly. It is the discovery of disparate values, doubts, and fears, and the building trust between a central broker and parties on opposite sides of the table which leads to vision becoming reality. And buildings rise.

Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're pushing papers 9 to 5
Stacks of listings just survive
Stale old facts fill every sheet
No spark no flair an endless repeat

[Verse 2]
Corporate suits with ties so tight
Never dream just count the nights
Trapped in boxes labeled norm
Where's the passion where's the storm

[Chorus]
But hey look at those buildings rise
Dreamers turning dirt to skies
Paint the clouds with vision bright
They’re the stars that light the night

[Verse 3]
Investors knew the gold beneath,
Urban land where value breathes.
Saw beyond the present ground,
Building futures, dollar-bound.

[Verse 4]
Builders dream in brilliant ways,
Finance, law bring plans to blaze.
Designers draft where visions grow,
Engineering concepts flow.

[Chorus]
But hey look at those buildings rise
Dreamers turning dirt to skies
Paint the clouds with vision bright
They’re the stars that light the night

[Bridge]
The challenge is to bring them near,
Different voices, doubts, and fear.
Dreamers both, yet worlds apart,
Creative mind to weave one heart.

[Verse 5]
Urban gold and skies of blue,
A guiding force that pulls it through.
Building bridges from the start,
Making conflict into art.

[Chorus]
And hey we're making buildings rise
We're the dreamers turning dirt to skies
Paint the clouds with vision bright
We’re the stars that light the night.
We're the stars that light the night.
