One Brick at a Time

The Lord gave each and everyone
 The spunk to do what can't be done
 The brawn, the brain, the courage and the heart
 The strength to bend the strongest bar
 The will to reach the farthest star
 It's just a case of learning how to start
 To build a tower up so high to a cloud you'll anchor
 Build it one tiny brick at a time
 Bucks multiply till a bum's a banker
 Just begin with a thin silver dime
 That empty field it can yield miles and miles of flowers
 You don't need no magic powers
 Just a seed and showers
 From the floor to the sky
 You can soar if you're wise enough to climb
 One brick at a time
 ♪
 To build a ship that's built to last
 You lay the keel than raise the mast
 An ode begins with just a simple rhyme
 An oak with roots a mile beneath
 Becomes a stick to pick your teeth
 Just sharpen up your knife and take your time
 One stalwart chap with a cup and bunch of hours
 He can scoop all the salt from the sea
 Buds open up turning boughs to bowers
 All begun by just one bumblebee
 To write with ease symphonies
 Or at least contati
 Filled with trills and obligati
 Start with fa sol la ti
 Leave the rest in the dust
 Be the best
 If you're just content to climb
 One brick at a time
 Just take a brick and place it on the ground
 To make it stick pour mortar all around
 A cup of lime then stir until it's hard
 And up she'll climb by inch by foot by yard
 A sill, a door, a ledge, a window pane
 Then drill some more, raise up a weather vane
 A roof the proof that going slow like this
 A splendid edifice can climb
