PDeople are sad and I know why
With no chance to live before you die
You gGet pretty sick if you hCafta keep it Ginside

PDeople oughta live how & where they want
People oughta have respect in front

So gEmet off my dAick
I'm bGuilding it brCick bGy brDick

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 lDooking at jGust a little time
So bEme it
I wAant to
bDe true tCo my simple heart
And nEmot put nothing else abAove it
