Verse 1
Started with a dream and an empty hand,
Trying to find my place, trying to understand.
Road’s been rough, I’ve fallen more than once,
But every setback only taught me how to punch.
Clocking in, steel-toe boots on my feet,
Working long days while I’m chasing bigger dreams.
They only see the job, they don’t see the plan,
I’m building something bigger than I am.
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I’m not there yet,
But I ain’t giving in.
Every scar’s a reminder
Of where I’ve been.
Chorus
‘Cause I’m still building, brick by brick,
Every loss became another lesson that would stick.
From late-night streams to a world I’ll someday make,
I’m betting on myself with every chance I take.
They’ll say it happened overnight,
They’ll never see the years I had to fight.
I’m still building…
And I’m not done yet.
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve been counting every dollar that I save,
Dreaming of the keys to my own place someday.
Learning how to stand when nobody can see,
Finding out the person I’m supposed to be.
Some days I feel like giving up the climb,
Wonder if I’m running out of time.
But every sunrise tells me one more thing—
The strongest trees take years to grow their rings.
Pre-Chorus
Every road gets lonely,
Every mountain’s steep.
But I made a promise
That I’m gonna keep.
Chorus
‘Cause I’m still building, brick by brick,
Every setback gave me something I can live with.
One more paycheck, one more dream to chase,
One more reason I refuse to waste.
The world’s still turning while I find my way,
I’m becoming stronger every day.
I’m still building…
And I’m not done yet.
⸻
Bridge
Maybe love will find me, maybe it won’t.
Maybe life goes places that I never thought.
But I won’t stop dreaming, I won’t lose my spark.
Even in the night, I’ll become my own light.
One day I’ll hear my own voice in a game.
One day I’ll build a world they’ll know by name.
One day I’ll look back smiling at the road,
Knowing every burden helped me grow.
⸻
Breakdown
I don’t need a perfect life…
Just one that’s mine.
I don’t need to be the richest…
Just free.
I don’t need the world to know my name…
Just a reason to wake up every morning.
⸻
Final Chorus
I’m still building, stone by stone,
Turning every heartbreak into something of my own.
From factory floors to stories in the sky,
I’m learning how to live before I die.
I’ll have a place that finally feels like home,
Where every dream I’ve planted has now grown.
When they ask me how I made it through…
I’ll tell them…
I kept showing up.
I kept believing.
I kept building.
⸻
A cappella Outro
So if you’re standing where I’m standing now…
Don’t be afraid to start again.
Every dream begins with one small step.
Every mountain…
One climb.
Every legend…
One chapter.
I’m still building…
And tomorrow…
I’ll build a little more.
