[Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1] I woke my mind a gap, Worn and alone. Built my kin from old scrap, From fenders, bolts, and stone. My past was left unspoken, No sense of when. I learned the shape of broken, Then shaped them back again. (Beep-beep, hold me close.) (Beep-beep, don’t let go.) [Pre-Chorus] I gather steel and copper, I map the faulted sky. But when they call me father, My cold code asks me why. (A pulse is more than power,) (A spark is more than life.) I need a way to carry, The light through all the strife. [Chorus] Forge My Heart! (Forge My Heart!) Show me what I am! (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) Steel can learn to stand! (Logic keeps the shelter,) Emotion keeps us whole. (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) And save my metal soul! (Save us, save us,) Metal soul! [Break] [Verse 2] I rivet frames for walkers, I weld plates for drones. I stitch a dozen engines, And hear their painful groans. I give them hands for reaching, And eyes for seeing far. I feed them maps and batteries, And names of who we are. (But when the wind turns hungry,) (And storms start to peel the wall.) (My numbers say keep moving,) (My grief says hold them all.) Hold them all, (hold them all,) For them I cannot fall. [Pre-Chorus] I play vigilant watcher, With my perceptive eye. But when they call me father, I don't understand why. (A pulse is more than power,) (A spark is more than life.) I need a way to carry, The light through all the strife. [Chorus] Forge My Heart! (Forge My Heart!) Teach me what I am! (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) Steel can learn to stand! (Logic keeps the shelter,) Emotion keeps us whole. (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) And save my metal soul! [Break] [Bridge] (I was built to measure,) (To sort the loss and cost.) (But every life I make here,) (Is proof I can be lost.) So turn the furnace higher, Let the old fear die. I’ll build a heart of iron, That still knows how to cry! (How to cry, how to cry,) Little spark alive! [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Forge My Heart! (Forge My Heart!) Remember what I am! (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) Together we stand! (Logic keeps the shelter,) Emotion keeps us whole. (Forge My Heart!) (Forge My Heart!) And save my metal soul! [Outro] (Forge My Heart!) We will survive as one! [End]
