*// LYRICS //*

The sun is coming up over the eastern ridge.
I’m standing in the water building up the bridge.
My hands are covered in the red clay dirt.
There’s a beautiful rhythm in the way it hurts.
I’m mixing up the mortar, I’m stacking up the stone.
I’m working in the valley where I stand alone.
You can’t buy a kingdom with a borrowed dime.
So I’m paying for the castle with my overtime!

They say "Take the shortcut!"
They say "Fake the outcome!"
I want the kind of walls that will never break!
I want a foundation that will never shake!

I will build it stone by stone!
I will do it on my own!
I don't need a favor, I don't need a prize!
Just to see the look written in your eyes!
By my own means, I will rise!
By my own means, I will rise!
Watch me work!

I saw a man today in a rented suit.
Talking loud and eating up the forbidden fruit.
He offered me a ladder that was made of glass.
I told him, "Mister, I think I’m gonna pass."
I’d rather climb the cliff with my fingernails.
Than sail across the ocean with the stolen sails.
Every drop of sweat is a holy prayer.
To let you know I’m coming and I’m almost there!

They say "Take the shortcut!"
They say "Fake the outcome!"
I want the kind of walls that will never break!
I want a foundation that will never shake!

I will build it stone by stone!
I will do it on my own!
I don't need a favor, I don't need a prize!
Just to see the look written in your eyes!
By my own means, I will rise!
By my own means, I will rise!
Watch me work!

Brick by brick.
Sweat and tick.
Muscle and bone.
Building the throne.
I’M BUILDING THE THRONE!

I will build it stone by stone!
I will do it on my own!
I don't need a favor, I don't need a prize!
Just to see the look written in your eyes!
By my own means, I will rise!
By my own means, I will rise!
Watch me work!
