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
