Lyrics

[Verse]
Moonlight bounces off the wet cement sheen,
Shovel in hand, my midnight routine.
Steel toes tap on the scaffold's spine,
Building bridges in the dark, chasing overtime.

[Chorus]
Concrete dreams under the streetlight's glow,
Hands stained gray, but the pay still low.
Sweat on my brow as the cold winds blow,
Laying down the foundation for the world to flow.

[Verse 2]
Rebar tangled like a steel cage fight,
Welding sparks dance, setting fire to the night.
Mixer churns slow, a beast in the gloom,
The bridge takes shape, like a ghost in the room.

[Bridge]
Night shift grind, no stars in the sky,
Clouds of dust rise as the hours drift by.
Echoes of footsteps in the hollow expanse,
Every pour of concrete is a worker’s romance.

[Verse 3]
Jackhammer rhythm, beats out a tune,
Shadowed by the cranes that block the moon.
Hard hats nod, no words exchanged,
In this concrete jungle, nothing feels strange.

[Chorus]
Concrete dreams under the streetlight's glow,
Hands stained gray, but the pay still low.
Sweat on my brow as the cold winds blow,
Laying down the foundation for the world to flow.
