    *** Unconfirmed ***

    See the morning, smell the tar
    Take a look at where you are
    Used to sit but here you stand, according to the plan, take a look at where you stand
    Tap the hard hat, pave the path
    Get it level, make it flat
    Used to walk but now you run to greet the rising sun, take a look at what you've done

    It's the 9 o'clock haze, out the door and on your way
    Comin' home and hearin' "How was your day?"
    Fine, overall, it was okay but you know there's more to say

    Cuz all in good time, any color you'd like
    Build one-by-one 'til your tower scrapes the sky
    And under new lights all hidden in plain sight
    Maybe you could take the time to see
    The world set in stone you take for granted

    Etch your sketches in the sand
    Here you'll see your vision stand
    No perfection can be rushed, it's every angle flush
    There's no gold without your touch
    Lick your finger, touch the sky
    Feel the wind that's blowing by
    In between these city walls, those bridges standing tall
    Men of Steel built them all

    It's the 9 o'clock craze, out the door and on your way
    Comin' home and hearin' "How was your day?"
    Fine, overall, it was okay but you know there's more to say

    Cuz all in good time, any color you'd like
    Build one-by-one 'til your tower scrapes the sky
    And under new lights all hidden in plain sight
    Maybe you could take the time to see
    The world set in stone you take for granted

    Clean the gutters, trim the yard
    You just don't know where to start
    It's a shame but here you are
    Now, that smile from the bar's the empty seat inside your car

    It's back to 9 o'clock grays, out the door and on your way
    Having no one home to ask you "How was your day?"
    Fine, overall, it was okay but you know there's more to say

    Cuz all in good time, any color you'd like
    Build one-by-one 'til your tower scrapes the sky
    And under new lights all hidden in plain sight
    Maybe you could take the time to see
    The world set in stone you take for granted
