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 insideI wanna build a house where an ad don't scream
I wanna live in peace-quietly
I wanna have a place of love and safetyPeople oughta live how and where they want
People oughta have respect in front
People oughta get along pretty okaySo get off my dick
I'm building it brick by brick
Brick by brickI'm building a house where I can think
And have some balance and dignity
I'm building a house where no one can hurt meI'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 immortalI'm building it with simplicity
And the way that we feel, you and me
I'm building it with what I believe inSo get off my dick
'Cause I'm building it brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brickNow I'm looking
At just a little time
So be itI want to be true
To my simple heart
And not put nothing else above itBrick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick
