Shaping Tomorrow

Versuri

[Verse 1] Before the bakery opens, before the first bus rolls A thermos clicks shut by the tailgate’s glow With a pencil behind one ear and a lunch packed tight You step through the blue of the early light [Pre-Chorus] While the whole town dreams behind curtains drawn You measure, mark, and carry on [Chorus] You’re building the places where families grow Running the water and making warmth flow Wiring the rooms where the good days begin Hanging the doors that let the bright life in When the world is quiet and sleeping away You’re shaping tomorrow before break of day [Verse 2] There’s a plumber under kitchens, a roofer on the frame An electrician tracing every circuit by name A carpenter squares the hallway, a mason lays the stone An HVAC hums softly, giving comfort to a home [Pre-Chorus] Every level line and every careful seam Turns a set of plans into somebody’s dream [Chorus] You’re building the places where families grow Running the water and making warmth flow Wiring the rooms where the good days begin Hanging the doors that let the bright life in When the world is quiet and sleeping away You’re shaping tomorrow before break of day [Bridge] Someday a child will race across that floor Someone will turn a key in a brand-new door They may never know the hands that made it right But your work will hold them every night [Final Chorus] You’re building the places where families grow Setting the rafters and making warmth flow Wiring the rooms where the good days begin Giving a strong foundation for the life within When the world is quiet and sleeping away You’re shaping tomorrow before break of day Yes, you’re shaping tomorrow before break of day [Outro] So here’s to the hands that show up and do The steady, honest work that carries us through
