Steel and Sweat

(Verse 1)

Steel-toed boots on a factory floor

Same four walls, same heavy door

But I’m building dreams with these calloused hands

Every shift’s another line in the plans

(Pre-Chorus)

Clock keeps ticking, but I won’t bend

I’ll grind it out ‘til the bitter end

(Chorus)

Steel and sweat, that’s the life I know

Turnin’ gears just to make it grow

From the dirt and dust, I’ll pave my way

Workin’ hard for a brighter day

(Verse 2)

They see a man just punchin’ time

But I see a mountain I’m here to climb

Every paycheck, every scar I earn

Is a lesson learned, a corner turned

(Pre-Chorus)

Clock keeps ticking, but I won’t bend

I’ll grind it out ‘til the bitter end

(Chorus)

Steel and sweat, that’s the life I know

Turnin’ gears just to make it grow

From the dirt and dust, I’ll pave my way

Workin’ hard for a brighter day

(Bridge)

There’s pride in pain, and grit in grace

You can see the fire written on my face

The world won’t break me, I won’t fall

I’ll build my dream, I’ll build it all

(Chorus – final)

Steel and sweat, that’s the life I know

Turnin’ gears just to make it grow

From the dirt and dust, I’ll pave my way

Workin’ hard for a brighter day
