Human

Brick by Brick

The world keeps trying to build a house in one day

but I say it shouldn't be done

for going too fast you'll make many mistakes

and all your work could quickly be undone

No ma'am it takes time to build a beautiful home

you must build it brick by brick

don't forget to check everything twice 

and don't finish too quick

But every now and then a person,

a wanderer with no home at all

comes and takes some bricks away

and pushing down all your walls

You see this person is full of hate

is jealous of you building your own home

no one taught them home to build

and so they walk the streets alone

It's not their fault things took this turn

sometimes life just makes us bitter

But it's your job to help them learn

to build a home before the winter

As you try and rebuild your house

toss them a couple of bricks

because you have endless amounts

you say "We can both do this"

See now you're both building beautiful homes

and that once bitter person now smiles

They went and got their own load of bricks

and started building homes for miles

Sometimes all it takes is time

to help someone else build a home

even if they treat you wrong

it may be because they're alone

So as you build your kick ass house

try not to tear other's down

and try to take a moment or two

when the homeless one one comes around
