Lyrics

I dreamt I drove to find the truth, to put myself into the proof, and with my hammer coming down until the dinner bell would sound, and so I helped to raise a barn and it was real to watch it stand and I put childhood to rest and only time would be the test I rise at dawn and I get dressed, I kiss my love and look my best and I was born to use my hands with all the tools at my command, and so I helped to build a town with all the good folks gathering round, and I put selfish plans away another time another day And so I helped to build the world And so I helped to build the world And so I helped to build the world I drive a stake into the earth, the dust it blows the land it thirsts we dig it down and drill a well, and there she blows the water swells and so we work to save the land and it felt right to take a stand now what it means to be a man And so I helped to build the world And so I helped to build the world And so I helped to build the world And so I helped to build the world
