Verse 1
I left the map where I packed it
One bright star above the stone
Some roads never need a compass
When the sky has led you home
First light found the weathered faces
Set by generations past
I stood silent in the waiting
Where ancient shadows passed.
Verse 2
Every carving caught the morning
Every shadow crossed the same
No one thought to leave a kingdom
Still their work outlived their names
Stone remembers every heartbeat
Long after the voices fade
Maybe all we’re ever leaving
Is the mark our hands have made.
Pre-chorus
One heartbeat starts the journey
Many hands complete the task
Shared purpose lights the fire
That melts the sand to glass
Chorus
Across the years we’re still connected
By the dreams we choose to raise
Every stone becomes tomorrow
When we build beyond our days
From the first light on these pillars
To the children yet to come
Every heart inspires another
When we choose to build as one.
Verse 3
I laid my hand on the weathered stone
Worn smooth by lives I’ll never know
Gratitude for ones before me
Who built for those they’d never know
The morning sun climbed ever higher
Across the hills where shadows played
I walked away with empty pockets
But richer than the day I came
Pre-chorus
One heartbeat starts the journey
Many hands complete the task
Shared purpose lights the fire
That melts the sand to glass
Final Chorus
Across the years we’re still connected
By the dreams we choose to raise
Every path flows into others
When we build beyond our days
From the first light on these pillars
To the children yet to come
Every soul becomes a builder
When we choose to build as one
Outro
The sun has traveled countless times
Since the hands that carved the stone
I turned my feet toward the path
No longer walking it alone
