[Verse 1] I don't need your signed word I read what the structure showed Where the weight always traveled Tells me all that I know [Chorus] Bedrock, scaffolding Infrastructure, the hidden hand Four walls, one design Built to outlive the man [Verse 2] Two books, one truth Read them both with your eyes A tongue too small to hold him So he built one twice the size [Chorus] Bedrock, scaffolding Infrastructure, the hidden hand Four walls, one design Built to outlive the man [Verse 3] A picture on a stage Merit over the crown Men trained to carry it forward Long after he sat down [Chorus] Bedrock, scaffolding Infrastructure, the hidden hand Four walls, one design Built to outlive the man [Verse 4] A charter, not a king A colony built to last The hidden hand stayed quiet Till the frame could hold the past [Outro] Eleven points, four walls One blueprint in the dark Gone now, but the scaffolding Still holds his mark
