[Verse 1] I used to chase the fish Throw bobbers in the lake Waiting for a miracle For somebody else to wake [Pre-Chorus] Now I build the pipe Stone by stone I learn the bends I learn my own [Chorus] When they’re ready They will connect The work is done The path is set When they’re ready They will connect I did my part I placed the brick [Verse 2] Hands in the mud at dawn Boots on the riverbank No more staring at the sky No more empty thank-you's I measure every joint I test the weight If it holds through rain It’ll hold through fate [Pre-Chorus] Now I build the pipe Stone by stone I hear it click I’m not alone [Chorus] When they’re ready They will connect The work is done The path is set When they’re ready They will connect I did my part I placed the brick [Bridge] Maybe they come slow Maybe they come wrong Still I keep the line straight Still I keep it strong [Final Chorus] When they’re ready They will connect The work is done The path is set When they’re ready They will connect I did my part I placed the brick When they’re ready They will connect No wasted time No second guess
