Brick by Brick

Well, I look around and all I see
Are people just like you and me
They smile and wave and don't complain
On each dollar that they make

Some punch the clock with overtime
Sneak in to kiss their kids goodnight
Others work a long hard day
And still make time for PTA

When we get tired we get tough
But that's the way that we grew up

You've been [Incomprehensible] of my father
He's a workin' man who wears a blue collar
I was taught to work hard, play hard but pray harder
Well, I was prayin' about to get there quick
You got to build it brick by brick

I'm thankful that my mom and dad
Loved with everything they had
But let me make my own mistakes
That's the biggest gift they could've gave

There's something to be said about
Straight on knees and falling down
Getting' right back up again
And givin' all you have to give

I learned to walk by watching them
That made me who I am

You've been [Incomprehensible] of my father
He's a workin' man who wears a blue collar
I was taught to work hard, play hard but pray harder
Well, I was prayin' about to get there quick
You got to build it brick by brick

A swift drift up on an easy rock
Leaves you with nothin' but a long scar down

You've been [Incomprehensible] of my father
He's a workin' man who wears a blue collar
I was taught to work hard, play hard and love hard but pray harder
Well, I was prayin' about to get there quick
You got to build it brick by brick

Brick by brick, yeah
