Intro

 People are sad and I know why

With no chance to live before you die

 You get pretty sick if you hafta keep it inside

 I wanna build a house where an ad don't scream

I wanna leave in peace - quietly

 I wanna have a place of love & safety

 People oughta live how & where they want

People oughta have respect in front

 People oughta get along pretty O.K.

 So get off my dick

 I'm building it brick by brick

 Brick by brick

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 buidling 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

So get off my dick

'cause I'm building this

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

 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
