Verse 1: We just be — life is our playground God’s not only up high — He’s also been around Not in a book, no temple dust He walks beside us, in trust — and rust Chorus: Let the steel grow old, let the paint flake off Let the fire in your chest burn steady, not soft No crown, no rule, no holy must Just the road, love, trust — and rust Verse 2: We don’t need signs, don’t need a name He’s in the silence, not in the fame A whisper deep, not thunder’s gust He’s in the broken, the brave — in trust and rust Chorus (repeat / optional slight variation) Let the steel grow old, let the paint flake off Let the fire in your chest burn steady, not soft No throne, no pride, no righteous fuss Just the dust, and hope, and trust — and rust Bridge: If we fall, we fall like stars No heaven too high, no soul too far We carry truth, not gold or crust But sacred dirt, and trust — and rust Verse 3 / Extended Outro: He’s never let us walk alone He never sat upon a throne No need for money, no need for gold For games, He’s far too wise — and far too old Final Outro: So here we go, no map, no plan Just holding hands in shifting sand And if we fade, then fade we must But not alone — in trust, and rust
