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 ought to live how and where they want People ought to have respect in front People ought to 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 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 So get off my dick I'm building it 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 [Repeat: x4] Brick by brick by brick
