[male
vocals] (
Soft
Rhodes
piano
chords,
a
steady,
warm
bassline
pulse,
gentle
percussion
building
slowly)
He
wakes
before
the
sun
begins
to
rise
A
prayer
whispered
low
beneath
the
skies
For
every
mouth
he
feeds
and
home
he
guards
He
plays
the
hand
despite
the
shuffled
cards
Bills
in
one
hand,
burdens
in
the
other
side
He
walks
the
path
with
nothing
left
to
hide
He
smiles
through
the
pressure,
planting
every
seed
Knowing
that
his
presence
is
all
they
really
need
He
carries
the
weight
of
names
he
didn't
birth
Giving
all
he
has
for
what
the
dream
is
worth
And
when
you
look
at
him
and
ask
him, "
Are
you
okay?"
He
squares
his
weary
shoulders
just
to
keep
the
tears
at
bay
A
man
will
carry
the
whole
world
on
his
shoulders
tight
And
still
tell
you
he’
s
fine,
hidden
from
the
light
But
God
sees
the
nights
he
cries
in
silence
deep
And
watches
o'er
the
promises
he
tries
to
keep
May
Heaven
stand
for
him
when
he’
s
standing
for
everyone
else
Still
I’
m
fine,
he
says,
conquering
himself
Still
I’
m
fine,
still
I’
m
fine
Inside
the
boardroom,
planning
for
the
days
ahead
He
weighs
the
DRPPD,
earning
daily
bread
Strategic
minds
in
motion,
vision
on
the
goal
He
keeps
the
rhythm
steady
in
his
focused
soul
No
time
for
showing
cracks
within
the
iron
frame
He
answers
to
the
duty,
he
answers
to
the
name
Though
the
spreadsheets
blur
and
the
clock
begins
to
spin
He
finds
a
deeper
quiet
in
the
noise
and
in
the
din
He’
s
building
bridges
for
the
ones
who
follow
through
Doing
what
a
father’
s
grace
is
born
to
do
A
man
will
carry
the
whole
world
on
his
shoulders
tight
And
still
tell
you
he’
s
fine,
hidden
from
the
light
But
God
sees
the
nights
he
cries
in
silence
deep
And
watches
o'er
the
promises
he
tries
to
keep
May
Heaven
stand
for
him
when
he’
s
standing
for
everyone
else
Still
I’
m
fine,
he
says,
conquering
himself
Still
I’
m
fine,
still
I’
m
fine
Oh,
the
strength
of
the
quiet
ones
Carrying
the
torch
until
the
setting
sun
Invisible
labor,
a
harvest
of
love
Blessings
descending
from
the
heavens
above
For
every
man
who
stands
when
his
knees
are
weak
Finding
the
words
he’
s
too
modest
to
speak
So
let
the
rhythm
carry
all
the
heavy
load
Walking
with
purpose
down
this
winding
road
He’
s
not
a
hero
made
of
bronze
or
made
of
stone
He’
s
just
a
man
who
knows
he’
s
never
truly
alone
The
work
is
finished,
the
table
now
is
set
A
life
of
sacrifice,
one
he
won't
regret
He
takes
a
breath,
the
morning
starts
again
He’
s
steady,
he’
s
ready,
he’
s
home
among
his
kin
A
man
will
carry
the
whole
world
on
his
shoulders
tight
And
still
tell
you
he’
s
fine,
hidden
from
the
light
But
God
sees
the
nights
he
cries
in
silence
deep
And
watches
o'er
the
promises
he
tries
to
keep
May
Heaven
stand
for
him
when
he’
s
standing
for
everyone
else
Still
I’
m
fine,
he
says,
conquering
himself
Still
I’
m
fine,
still
I’
m
fine
Still
I'm
fine...
just
taking
it
in
stride
Heaven
sees
you,
Heaven
is
on
your
side
Still
I'm
fine,
yeah... (
