Build A Stage Lyrics - Bronze Radio Return

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 

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 

[Chorus:] 

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
