Sparks to Feed the Flame

(Verse 1)
He wakes before the sunrise, coffee in his hand  
Steel-toed boots and a hard hat, he’s a working man  
Down at the shop where the metal meets the light  
He bends the sparks like fireflies in the night  

(Chorus)
He’s a welder, building dreams on a steady flame  
Holding his family close, that’s his only aim  
Through smoke and heat, he’ll never complain  
Burning sparks to feed the flame  

(Verse 2)
Eight hours turn to twelve when the bills are tall  
His hands are scarred but he’s proud of them all  
Every bridge, every beam, every gate and frame  
Carries the weight of his love and his name  

(Chorus)
He’s a welder, building dreams on a steady flame  
Holding his family close, that’s his only aim  
Through smoke and heat, he’ll never complain  
Burning sparks to feed the flame  

(Bridge)
When he comes home, the kids run to his arms  
Smell of steel and smoke, but their world’s safe and warm  
He’ll tuck them in, whisper stories of the day  
And thank the Lord for another week of pay  

(Chorus)
He’s a welder, building dreams on a steady flame  
Holding his family close, that’s his only aim  
Through smoke and heat, he’ll never complain  
Burning sparks to feed the flame  

(Outro)
So here’s to the man with a heart of steel  
He welds his love into everything he builds  
Through every sunrise, he’ll stake his claim  
Burning sparks to feed the flame
