Brick by Brick - Newton Faulkner

I’m hoping it’ll all get better

But it keeps on getting worse

Time and time again

People running as the earth shakes

Just another earthquake coming in

To break my faith in this

Wind blowing off the rooftops

Water in the basements

Looking like lightning strikes again

Story ends and another begins

And they will keep on coming

They will keep on coming

Every single flame burns bright and fades

But that’s okay

My best-laid plans are washed away

No time to make 'em all again

Sometimes life gets in the way

We’ve got to keep on breathing

Look how far we’ve come

Look what we’ve made

Started from nothing, building

Brick by, brick by

Brick by, brick by

Brick by, brick by

Brick

So we’re back to broken hearted

Back to where we started

Everything we built gone down again

If this was in the movies

It’s said to be the truth

Bet no one would believe a word of it

Far reaching on the hillsides

Losing by a landslide

Everybody’s patience wearing thin

The drama ends and another begins

But if everybody loses, everybody wins

Every single flame burns bright and fades

But that’s okay

My best-laid plans are washed away

No time to make 'em all again

Sometimes life gets in the way

We’ve got to keep on breathing

Look how far we’ve come

Look what we’ve made

Started from nothing, building

Brick by, brick by

Brick by, brick by

Brick by, brick by

Brick

All we have is us

To build back up

What we have lost

But that’s enough

Every single flame burns bright and fades

But that’s okay

My best-laid plans are washed away

No time to make 'em all again

Sometimes life gets in the way

We’ve got to keep on breathing

Look how far we’ve come

Look what we’ve made

Started from nothing, building

My best-laid plans are washed away (Brick by)

No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick)

Sometimes life gets in the way (Brick by)

We’ve got to keep on breathing (Brick by brick)
