Homesafe – Two (Bare) Hands lyrics

[Verse 1]
A young man and a woman moved across sea
To start a new life and a family
He built this fucking city with his two bare hands
The woman stayed at home
She did all she could for them
I'll break ground like you did
All I need is a chance

[Chorus]
I'll make something of this
I promise I won't let you down
I'll take something from it and show them
I want you to be proud
Thanks for all the things you did, all the sacrifices made
I know we never met
But there's still one thing that I want to say
Thanks, thanks for paving the way for me

[Verse 2]
The groundwork's been laid
And I'm so afraid of what's to come
But who's to say what's right or wrong anyway?
I'll face my fears head on just like the man I never met
The man who I heard was so strong
I'll take this fucking city on with two bare hands
Won't need any help because I've got my friends and a chance
I finally found a chance

[Chorus]
I'll make something of this
I promise I won't let you down
I'll take something from it and show them
I want you to be proud
Thanks for all the things you did, all the sacrifices made
I know we never met
But there's still one thing that I want to say
Thanks, thanks for paving the way for me
For me
