Better build your house on a rock Or watch it crumble and fail Better build your love, hammer and nail I see it in the darkness as if it was broad daylight I feel it down inside my soul when I hold you tight It takes much more than passion for love to prevail Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails Hammer and nail, we're gonna build this love Faith and hope, flesh and blood Lay that firm foundation down to the last detail Gonna build our love with hammer and nails You build one room for laughter, you build one room for tears This ain't no game, no house of cards, it's gonna take us years A vow that's only spoken comes to no avail Put 'em in your hands, hammer and nails Hammer and nail, we're gonna build this love Faith and hope, flesh and blood Lay it out so straight and true to the last detail Gonna build our love with hammer and nails Hammer and nail, we're gonna build this love Faith and hope, flesh and blood We've both seen it strong enough, we've both seen it fail Gonna build our love with hammer and nails Gonna build our love with hammer and nails
