LYRIC FOR SALE

By Fedora Rex

Verse 1
I’ve been down many roads in my future and my past
I've had hard times and good times that dont seem to last
Spent years in the trenches not knowing how to feel
Now I stand on a foundation made of concrete and steel
I carry my own weight, I fight my own fight
And I don't ask permission to step into the light.
Verse 2
You can talk about your status, you can talk about your pride
But when life comes at ya there is nowhere you can hide
I look around the room at the friends by my side
Men who walk through the fire come out the other side
We don't need the applause, we don't care about the show
We just measure our worth by the memories that we sow.
Chorus
Thick as the concrete, tough as the steel
We stand tall for the things that are real
Built for the climb and we’re taking the lead
Grit and resilience are the only code we need
Stand back or stand tall, make up your mind
'Cause the iron stays strong while the rest get left behind.
Verse 3
When the darkness settles in and the night turns cold
We gather in friendship where our stories get told
Smell of beer in the air, and back on solid land
Knowing exactly where every one of us stands
No weak-hearted talk, no hollow-sounding words
Just the quiet kind of power that don't need to be heard.
Chorus
Thick as the concrete, tough as the steel
We stand tall for the things that are real
Built for the climb and we’re taking the lead
Grit and resilience are the only code we need
Stand back or stand tall, make up your mind
'Cause the iron stays strong while the rest get left behind.
Bridge
It’s the apex of the journey, the hard and lonely road
If the road don't break you, it'll lead you back home
We earned every scar, we paid for every line
And we’re taking what’s ours every single time.
Chorus
Thick as the concrete, tough as the steel
We stand tall for the things that are real
Built for the climb and we’re taking the lead
Grit and resilience are the only code we need
Stand back or stand tall, make up your mind
'Cause the iron stays strong while the rest get left behind.
Outro
Yeah, thick as the concrete...
Tough as the steel.
We’re still standing.
