Better Build your house on a rock
Or watch it crumble and fail
Better build your love with hammer and nails

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
I'ts gonna take us years
A vow thats's only spoken comes to no avail
Put'em in your hands, hammer and nails

Hammer and nail we're gonna build this love
Fait 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
