Lyrics:

Bring bricks,
no time to stand still,
builders go build,
with no fear or trouble,
we will bring up wall to wall,
above obstacle and offence,
we will all sing,
our land rebuild’s anthem,
in yesterday’s place, we have a future,
and for every wall,
among our buildings,
the future of our nation people is our pay.

Bring, bring bricks,
Village and city,
sing the builder’s song,
a song of renew and vapor!

Bring, bring bricks,
Village and city,
sing the builder’s song,
a song of renew and vapor!

Bring bricks,
no time to stand still,
builders go build,
with no fear or trouble,
we will bring up wall to wall,
above obstacle and offence,
we will all sing,
our land rebuild’s anthem,
in yesterday’s place, we have a future,
and for every wall,
among our buildings,
the future of our nation people is our pay.

Bring, bring bricks,
Village and city,
sing the builder’s song,
a song of renew and vapor!

Bring, bring bricks,
Village and city,
sing the builder’s song,
a song of renew and vapor!
