I sat on the porch step,
staring at the gate
Waiting for a hero
or a sudden twist of fate
But the dust didn't stir,
the road stayed empty and wide
So I picked up my keys and I stepped outside
Nobody's coming to hold my hand
Nobody's writing a master plan
I'm laying the bricks,
I'm framing the door
I'm not waiting on the world anymore (yeah) I'll find my own
light, I'll carve out my name
I'm learning to play my own game
There's dirt on my fingers,
there's sweat on my brow
But I look at this house that I'm building right now No
more looking backwards, no waiting on a sign
Every single decision is finally mine
I'm laying the bricks,
I'm framing the door
I'm not waiting on the world anymore
(yeah) I'll find my own light,
I'll carve out my name
I'm learning to play my own game
It’s quiet at night but the foundation is deep And these are
the promises that I intend to keep (ohhh)
I'm framing the door
Not waiting anymore
(no more,
no more)
