[Verse 1]
I came in with oil on my hands
And a head full of broken plans
You were stuck in the dark again
So I drew a line in the sand
I read the frame like a map
Found the fault in the steel
One turn, one spark, one snap
Now the whole world feels real
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wait for a save
I make one from the scrap
When the pressure starts to break
I bring the power back
[Chorus]
I'm the hero in the gears
(I'm the hero in the gears)
I build hope out of fear
I build hope out of fear
With a wrench and a flame
I put the sky back on its feet
I'm the hero in the gears
And I won't let you fall on me
[Verse 2]
In the shop at the edge of town
Where the concrete shakes
I can hear a dream coming down
In the chain and the brakes
Give me rust, give me rain
Give me something to mend
I'll turn weakness into a name
You can trust to the end
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wait for a save
I make one from the scrap
When the pressure starts to break
I bring the power back
[Chorus]
I'm the hero in the gears
(I'm the hero in the gears)
I build hope out of fear
I build hope out of fear
With a wrench and a flame
I put the sky back on its feet
I'm the hero in the gears
And I won't let you fall on me
[Bridge]
If the bridge shakes hard
If the road runs thin
I'll weld my heart to the frame
And start again
[Final Chorus]
I'm the hero in the gears
(I'm the hero in the gears)
I build hope out of fear
I build hope out of fear
With a wrench and a flame
I put the sky back on its feet
I'm the hero in the gears
And I won't let you fall on me
