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
