There are bricks that pave the road to glory
Common words to tell a mighty story
Waves through air bringing the grove
Of music when it makes you move
Is it just a muscle we call heart?
Or are we more than the sum of parts?
The leaves that give me shelter from the rain
The feeling that releases from the pain
There’s more to water than H2O
More to this house than bricks and stones
More to this song that just the tones
More to us that skin and bones
[So let me drink
Let me cool down when the heat comes in
Clean dust and mud from off my skin
Wash away all of my sins]
There are bricks that pave the road to glory
Common words to tell a mighty story
