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
