Build It Back

Hammer in hand, sun on my neck
Burned it down, now time to check

We lost the trees, we lost the fields
We felt the heat, we watched it steal
But every board we lay with care
Says: “This time, we’re really there”

Storms can shake and fires roar
But we ain’t bowin’ anymore
We learned from every flood and flame
We’re buildin’ back — not just the same

"Build it back, better roots"
Deeper down
Stronger truth

"Build it back, better roots"
With old wood hearts
and new-born boots

Plant the seeds that hold through drought
Sing the songs that cast out doubt
Raise the beams with steady grace
And let no wind erase this place

Teach the kids what we got wrong
Let their hands be firm and strong
The earth may tremble, skies may fall
But we ain't scared — we’ve seen it all

"Build it back, better roots"
Deeper down
Stronger truth

"Build it back, better roots"
With old wood hearts
and new-born boots

Patch the holes, repaint the barn
Turn the guilt into a charm
Take the pain and stitch it proud
Say it loud, say it loud:

"Build it back, better roots"
From rust and ash
To rising shoots

"Build it back, better roots"
Not like before
But fierce and true

And when they ask what held us tight
We’ll say: We did. Through darkest night.
