[Verse 1] O’er hills of green, with weary tread, I carve my path where dreams have led. The wind it howls, the heart does roam, Yet toil’s my guide to bring me home. (Ooh, keep on, keep on, through the storm’s embrace) [Chorus] Hard work’s me oath, it holds me true, Though dreams may drift like mist’s soft dew. With grit and grace, I’ll face the storm, In labor’s fire, my soul is warm. (Grit and grace, oh, grit and grace, carry on, carry on) [Spoken] The road’s long and the dreams slip fast. But the sweat on yer brow? That’s what lasts. Keep pushin’, even when the stars don’t align. Every step’s a victory, every scar divine. [Verse 2] The stars above, they tease and fade, Yet every scar’s a vow I’ve made. Through mud and mire, I’ll bear the load, For strength’s the tale the ancients told. (Ooh, stand tall, stand tall, through the endless fight) [Chorus] Hard work’s me oath, it holds me true, Though dreams may drift like mist’s soft dew. With grit and grace, I’ll face the storm, In labor’s fire, my soul is warm. (Grit and grace, oh, grit and grace, carry on, carry on) [Rap] Yo, I’m grindin’ through the rain, through the pain, no gain, Dreams slip away like they caught the last train. But I’m forged in the fire, got my heart in the fight, Every drop of my sweat’s like a beacon of light. No crown, no throne, just the dirt on my hands, Buildin’ my legacy where the old oak stands. Celtic soul, yeah, I’m rooted, I’m strong, Grit and grace keep me pushin’ along! [Bridge] No harp’s sweet song will crown me king, But sweat and strife make spirits sing. Through endless night, I’ll stand my ground, In work’s embrace, my peace is found. (Sing, oh sing, let the spirit rise) [Chorus] Hard work’s me oath, it holds me true, Though dreams may drift like mist’s soft dew. With grit and grace, I’ll face the storm, In labor’s fire, my soul is warm. (Grit and grace, oh, grit and grace, carry on, carry on) [Outro] So raise the flag through rain and gale, My heart’s resolved, it will not fail. Though dreams may wander, far and free, Grit and grace will carry me. (Ooh, carry me, carry me, grit and grace, set me free)
