Verse: 1 Alone he sat in a room where the fireplace was stoked And the walls that surrounded him were made of cobblestone He rocked back and forth in the chair where he rested Wondering what it was that made him feel restless See he had lived a lot of years and seen a lot of things Found a lot of joy and tough times pain would bring This brought inspiration like waves of the ocean He stared at the pile of wood, his monacle focused He was a carpenter and real crafty with his hands Building houses and structures across the land He knew this creation had to be a little different This had to have a little bit more significance
Chorus: With the clouds above the surface to cover like the night When no one can really see what's going on inside With the fireplace burning to set the atmosphere There he sat moving back and forth in his rocking chair (x2)
Verse 2: He gathered some wood and brought it to his workbench Put one piece in the vice and then scratched his head Grabbed a chisel and then started carving all the parts One by one, he finished them from his heart So he grabbed the sand paper to make it all smooth He was meticulous with every little thing he would do He wanted to make sure each part could move And then he connected the pieces just like tongue and groove As he put it together, he began to air brush it All the different colors that he knew would fit Then he hung it up to dry and took one last look Then made the finishing touches to that piece of wood
Chorus
Verse 3: As he saw his creation, he started to see things Intricate details began to look like him To others it may have looked imperfect and scratched But to him it was so right because he did the math He made the eyes open wide to see the beauty of the globe Ears to hear everything that unfolds A nose to smell the seasons and a mouth for laughing He made the hands just like his to be crafty And legs to hold the body up and arms for balance And feet to finish the race when life’s a challenge He was so pleased with what he saw As he held his creation in the midst of his palms
