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 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
Little by little and 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 I drifted around
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down
Cos 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
