Brick By Brick

[Verse 1] People are so 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 want to build a house where an ad don't scream I want to live in peace, quietly I want to have a place of love and safety People ought to live how and where they want People ought to have respect in front People ought to 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 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] [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 [x4] Brick by brick by brick
