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
