I'm building it brick by brick

  C    G   D

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

be true to my simple heart

And not put nothing else above it
