ONE BRICK AT A TIME

 

The Lord gave each and every one

The spunk to do what can't be done

The brawn, the brain, the courage and the heart

The strength to bend the strongest bar

The will to reach the farthest star

It's just the case of learning how to start

 

To build a tower up so high to a cloud

You'll aim to build it one tiny brick at a time

Bucks multiply till the bum's a banker

Just begin with a thin silver dime

 

That empty field, it can yield

Miles and miles of flowers

You don't need no magic powers

Just to seed and showers

From the floor to the skies you can soar

If you're wise enough to climb

ONE BRICK AT A TIME.

 

To build a ship that’s built to last

You lay the keel then raise the mast

An oath begins with just a simple lie

An oak with roots a mile beneath

Becomes a stick to pick your teeth

To sharpen up your life just take your time

One stalwart chap with a cup and a bunch of hours

He can scoop all the salt from the sea

Swamps turn to bowers of flowers

All begun by one flight of one bumble bee

To write mini symphonies, or at least an opera or obligato,

Start with fa, so, la, ti

Leave the rest in the dust,

Be the best, hit the dust and make your mark

ONE BRICK AT A TIME

 

Just take a brick and place it on the ground

To make it stick, pour mortar all around

A cup of lime, then stir until it's hard

And up she'll climb by inch, by foot by yard

A sill, a door, a ledge, a window pane

Then drill some more, raise up a weather vane

A roof, the proof that buildings grow like this

A splendid edifice can fly

ONE BRICK AT A TIME
