Lyrics
The Hammer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For thirty years of my life I worked in the fires
Smelting and shaping and pounding iron
Little by little, it began to take shape
The most beautiful thing that I ever did make
A nine pound hammer of gold with a hilt made of oak
That I sanded and polished each day till it glowed
And I let myself dream that my hammer and me
Would one day be destined to build great things
But no buildings got made, the dream started to fade
Instead of constructing, I could only cause pain
And I saw why my dream was destined to fail
Because when you’re holding a hammer
The whole world looks like a nail
So I'm putting my hammer away
And I'm trying to transform my pain
I know I’ll keep building, but it can’t be this way
Yeah I'm putting my hammer away
