[Intro] If you need hope Start where you stand One page, one breath One promise kept by hand [Verse 1] I cleared a corner by the window Put the old excuses in a box Learned the parts I used to skip through Took the first step off the clock I drank water before the warning Walked the long way home at dawn Every small repair kept forming A road I could keep moving on [Pre-Chorus] No lightning in the distance No rescue from above Just a little more resistance Turning effort into love [Chorus] Build it, build it, brick by brick Give your future something solid to stand in Learn it, live it, let it stick Hope is a habit when you practice beginning If you need hope, put your hands to work Feed your mind, let your body return Build it, build it, brick by brick The life you want is waiting where you begin [Verse 2] I learned the language of the problem Made a map from every wrong Called a friend before I bottomed Found a rhythm I could carry on There were mornings made of failure There were nights I missed the mark Still the knowledge changed my posture Still the pulse stayed in the dark [Pre-Chorus] No promise it gets easy No shortcut through the doubt But every skill you sharpen Leaves another door unlocked [Chorus] Build it, build it, brick by brick Give your future something solid to stand in Learn it, live it, let it stick Hope is a habit when you practice beginning If you need hope, put your hands to work Feed your mind, let your body return Build it, build it, brick by brick The life you want is waiting where you begin [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I am not waiting to become Some finished version in the sun I am the question, I am the climb I am the work that changes time Take the fear and make it useful Take the ache and make it known Take one hour, make it truthful Take one choice and call it home [Breakdown] One page One breath One mile One rep One skill One meal One night One yes [Final Chorus] Build it, build it, brick by brick Give your future something solid to stand in Learn it, live it, let it stick Hope is a habit when you practice beginning If you need hope, put your hands to work Feed your mind, let your body return Build it, build it, brick by brick The life you want is waiting where you begin [Outro] Start where you stand Use what you have Keep what you learn And give it back If you need hope Start where you stand One page, one breath One promise kept by hand
