Lyrics

[Verse]
Down in the mine where the sun never glows,
Luke swings his pickaxe, through the earth he goes,
Sweat on his brow, dreams in his heart,
Building a life, playing his part.

[Verse 2]
Lindsey waits at home with two boys by her side,
Liam and Levi, her arms open wide,
A house on the hill, built with love and care,
Luke's sacrifice woven in everywhere.

[Chorus]
He worked late hours in the dust and the coal,
With every strike, he gave a piece of his soul,
But in their home on the hill, love's light always shone,
Luke built a life from the hard earth and stone.

[Verse 3]
Morning comes early with the whistle's wail,
Luke's back to the grind, the hammer and the nail,
Dreaming of twilight, his family's sweet embrace,
Everything he's toiling for is written in their face.

[Verse 4]
Sundays are peaceful, the laughter fills the air,
Luke's roughened hands find gentle comfort there,
Lindsey's warm touch and the boys' playful shouts,
In those moments, he knows what life's about.

[Chorus]
He worked late hours in the dust and the coal,
With every strike, he gave a piece of his soul,
But in their home on the hill, love's light always shone,
Luke built a life from the hard earth and stone.
