Little By Little

Oh when I was a baby, oh we had no home And we weren't the only family, we were not alone But daddy built a shelter from the wind and rain Oh through the years I've been building this home Gonna build it solid, gonna build it strong Gonna build it myself, I'm an independent man So I'm singing now Little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Oh no, little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say that this is mine but me Oh when I was a young man I drifted around Here and there, and from town to town Getting drunk drinking red, red wine Oh then one day, yeah I realised When I met that girl with those big brown eyes Oh I knew she'd be a friend of mine So I'm singing now Little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Oh no, little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 'Cause it's built inside of me, Yeah where nobody else can see Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Well we had some trouble and we had some strife Had to quit my drinking, had to change my life I had to do it for my family Oh when I quit drinking it got harder still But I know there's a way, where there's a will And I wont give up until we all are free So I'm singing now Little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Oh no, little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 'Cause it's built inside of me, Yeah where nobody else can see Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 'Cause it's built inside of me, Yeah where nobody else can see Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down Woah, I said little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Oh no, little by little and stone by stone Gonna build this building on my own And nobody can say this is mine but me Nobody but me Nobody
