Not for the like. For the ones who'll stand here after we're gone. That's what the hands were for. That's what they're still for. [Final Chorus - full band, biggest and proudest, choir-sized] Hands that built, backs that bent Every callus paid a debt that we never had to pay Hands that built, hearts still spent Long before the credit, long before today We stand on something we didn't lay Build it up. Don't throw it away. [Outro] Hands that built. Still building.
