Bricks At The Bottom Lyrics

When we got started to do what we oughta

Didn't know a much about bricks and mortar

What do we do, and how do we start?

Just a day at a time, and love in my heart

No matter how big you gotta start small

Sometimes it's a wonder things stay up at all

Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em

They all got started with bricks at the bottom

Now this construction had an odd design

Some of it was yours, and some of it was mine

But we always kept building, through thick and thin

And you should be proud of the state we are in

So it will stand out

Stand out from a crowd

Cos you are so different

Makes you special somehow

Mansions and homesteads, skyscrapers got 'em

When all's said and done they got bricks at the bottom

And no need to say sorry, there's no shame and no guilt

Cos in the end it's just the way things are built

And that'll be our story of how it got made

And the way it turned out is the way that it stayed

So nothing needs fixing not much anyhow

You'll be loved as you are the way you're loved so much now

Yes mansions and homesteads, skyscrapers got 'em

When all's said and done they got bricks at the bottom
