Lyrics Build a Stage - Bronze Radio Return

Build a Stage

Day breaks and a single man
With one hammer and two hands
He begins with a nail and plank
Steel pushing through the wood grain
And all the racket he makes from this one man crew
Draws another man seeking to build, too
Now with four strong arms on one design
The mallets move along in double time
Hey brother, it’s time to put your hands on
‘Cause we’re building a stage to stand on
Oh we’re building a stage to stand on
Getting taller and taller
From the ground it began on
And we’re building a stage to stand on
Oh we’re building a stage to stand on
When the day breaks again
The two men return to where they’ve been
To see the crowd of people gathered
With saws, ropes, and ladders
The cast of workers hoist and heave
And their labor sounds much like a symphony
So many heads and hands composing in
The last nails close and closing in
Then it happens
The pounding ceases
And on the land
A structure stands made from thousands of pieces
Illuminated, standing strong
The stage is finished now
Built for all to stand on
