lyrics

It started by the kitchen sink
A faulty wire, worn and frayed
It spread too quick for us to think
We had just seconds to escape

As we stood shivering in the street
And surveyed the smoldering remains
Our lives in ruin at our feet
There was choice for us to make

Rebuild, rebuild
Brick by brick together
Rebuild, rebuild
So that we can stand the weather
It isn’t easy but it’s better
If we try to rebuild

Sometimes your friends will let you down
Sometimes they’ll say the same of you
Sometimes the damage is severe
And there is nothing you can do

But rebuild, rebuild
Brick by brick together
Rebuild, rebuild
So that we can stand the weather
It isn’t easy but it’s better
If we try to rebuild

No one would blame us if we left
And started over somewhere new
Some cracks just cannot be repaired
Some land is better left unused

But the truest beauty that I know
Is not the earth, the stars, the sky
It’s when the dire wounds of death
Are healed as scars that pulse with life

So, let’s rebuild, rebuild
Brick by brick together
Rebuild, rebuild
So that we can stand the weather
It isn’t easy but it’s better to
Rebuild, rebuild
Brick by brick together
Rebuild, rebuild
If we give up altogether
It would be easier, not better
I think we should rebuild
