Little by Little

When I was a baby we had no home

And we weren't the only family, we were not alone

Daddy built a shelter from the wind and rain

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 sing it now

Little by little, stone by stone

Gonna build this building on my own

And nobody can say this is mine but me

Sing it now

Little by little, stone by stone

Gonna build this building on my own

And nobody can say this is mine but me

When I was a young man drifting around

Here and there from town to town

Getting drunk, drinking red, red wine

Then one day I realized

When I met this girl with the big brown eyes

Oh, I knew she'd be a friend of mine

So sing it now

Little by little, stone by stone

Gonna build this building on my own

And nobody can say this is mine but me

Sing it now

Little by little, 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

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

Well, when I quit drinking it got harder still

And I know there's a way where there's a will

And I won't give up until we all are free

Little by little, stone by stone

Little by little, on my own

Little by little, stone by stone

Little by little, on my own

Little by little, stone by stone

Gonna build this building on my own

And nobody can say this is mine but me

Yeah, so sing it now

Little by little, stone by stone

Gonna build this building on my own

And nobody can say this is mine but me

And nobody can say this is mine but me
