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 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 okay
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 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
So get off my dick
'Cause I'm building it 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
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick
