Brick by Brick

[Verse 1] People are sad and I know why With no chance to live before you die You get pretty sick, if you have to keep it inside I wanna build a house where an ad don't scream I wanna live in peace, quietly I wanna have a place of love and safety People oughta live how and where they want People oughta have respect in front People oughta get along pretty OK [Chorus] So get off my dick I'm building it brick by brick Brick by brick [Verse 2] I'm building a house where I can think And have some balance and dignity I'm building a house where no one can hurt me I'm building a house where the weak are strong I'm building a house with a real song I'm using a faith that is immortal I'm building it with simplicity And the way that we feel, you and me I'm building it with what I believe in [Chorus] So get off my dick I'm building it brick by brick Brick by brick [Verse 3] Now I'm looking at just a little time So be it, I want to be true to my simple heart And not put nothing else above it Brick by brick Brick by brick Brick by brick Brick by brick by brick
