Bricks built buildings; and foundations hold fast,
A home keeps safe all that is dear and free,
No cost to careless revelry of past.
Bricks built buildings.
Sheltered inside is something more than me:
My other half and the shadow I cast.
All that I am and all that I wish to be.
How priceless is love. My first and my last,
Who saved me from drowning as though at sea
And lit up my life like a firework's blast!
Bricks built buildings.
