Our Blueprints

Got the blueprints in my hand for a new and promised land

Not in heaven, not in prayer, but in the work we're doing here

We're the architects and crew, with a vision bold and new

Gonna build a safe design from your broken fault lines.

With a hammer and a nail, a fury that won't fail

We're building it up, brick by brick

This love is our mortar, thick and quick

A new skyline against the gray

We're building our tomorrow, today.

Our materials are trust, rising from the grit and dust

Our support beams are the jokes that we tell when we are broke

Our windows are the eyes that can see through all the lies

Our foundation's made of stone from the strength we've always known.

With a hammer and a nail, a fury that won't fail

We're building it up, brick by brick

This love is our mortar, thick and quick

A new skyline against the gray

We're building our tomorrow, today.

So let them have their crumbling towers, their kingdoms of decay

We're on the ground floor building up a brand new kind of day

This city's for the outcasts, the builders, and the dreamers

The quiet revolutionaries and the loud and proudful screamers.

With a hammer and a nail, a fury that won't fail

We're building it up, brick by brick

This love is our mortar, thick and quick

A new skyline against the gray

We're building our tomorrow, today.
