[Intro]
Rise before dawn, under Texas skies
Hands rough yet gentle, heart of pride
[Verse 1]
4 A.M. wakes him, boots hit the floor
Black coffee, cigarette, he's ready to roar
In the 4x4, he rides through the plains
Feeding his animals, tending life’s chains
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows inside, storm in his mind
Feeling unseen, left behind
But he keeps on, another day to fight
Building dreams by the fading light
[Chorus]
He’s a builder, plain and true
Crafting hope in skies of blue
Quiet strength, hard to see
Like Jesus, just a carpenter to be
Longing for a touch of grace
In this rugged, silent place
Oh, Texas soul so free
A humble hero, like you and me
[Verse 2]
Through dirt and sweat, he finds his way
Resilience written in his everyday
Battles inside, highs and lows
Yet he stands tall, nobody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows inside, storm in his mind
Feeling unseen, left behind
But he keeps on, another day to fight
Building dreams by the fading light
[Chorus]
He’s a builder, plain and true
Crafting hope in skies of blue
Quiet strength, hard to see
Like Jesus, just a carpenter to be
Longing for a touch of grace
In this rugged, silent place
Oh, Texas soul so free
A humble hero, like you and me
[Bridge]
In the night, he prays alone
For a little grace to call his own
Fighting storms he can't reveal
With every nail, he learns to heal
[Outro]
So here’s to the builder, under wide-open skies
His quiet courage, a silent cry
With every sunrise, he starts anew
Built from hope, strong and true
