[Verse 1] I found a box of screws Beneath the kitchen chair A pencil on the windowsill And sawdust in my hair I drew the shape at breakfast By noon I cut the frame The first attempt leaned sideways But I built it up again [Pre-Chorus] Every crooked corner Taught my hands a way Every failed beginning Made room for what I'd make [Chorus] I can build it, piece by piece Give the hidden thing a place to breathe From a sketch no one could see To a door that opens out for me I can build it, let it stand Turn a small idea into something grand If the first shape breaks apart I will start again with both hands on my heart [Verse 2] You brought the faded fabric I brought the borrowed thread We spread the plan across the floor And changed it as we read The motor coughed at sunset The paint ran down the side We laughed until the workbench shook Then stayed to make it right [Pre-Chorus] There is no perfect blueprint Waiting in the dark There is only one more measure And one more honest mark [Chorus] I can build it, piece by piece Give the hidden thing a place to breathe From a sketch no one could see To a door that opens out for me I can build it, let it stand Turn a small idea into something grand If the first shape breaks apart I will start again with both hands on my heart [Bridge] Dreams are not delivered In a shining finished crate They arrive as loose directions And a willingness to wait So bring me all the splinters Bring the parts that do not fit We will name the next small action Then we will begin with it [Final Chorus] I can build it, piece by piece Give the hidden thing a place to breathe From a sketch no one could see To a door that opens out for me I can build it, let it stand Turn a small idea into something grand When the shape becomes a room There is space enough for every dream to bloom [Outro] Leave the pencil on the table Let the morning find the plan What we make with patient hands Can become what we once imagined
