MySong

You said the hammer’s heavy but it builds the dream Sweat and dirt ain't curses They're the holy stream Every blister tells a story Every ache's a hymn You taught me to keep pushing When the light grows dim  [Prechorus]

You called it a dance This grind we do Told me to find joy in the work I knew 

[Chorus]

Dear Mr. Patterson I’m singing thanks to you For the wisdom in your hands For the truths you made me chew Dear Mr. Patterson Your lessons pull me through The road ahead is clearer All because of you  [Verse 2] The way you said "Son Patience beats the storm" Taught me how to hold my ground and still transform You carved in me the courage to face what I can’t bend Your words were tools and shelter Your kindness my friend  [Prechorus] "Fix what you can And let the rest be A man’s not the mountain But the roots of the tree"

[Chorus]

Dear Mr. Patterson I’m singing thanks to you For the wisdom in your hands For the truths you made me chew Dear Mr. Patterson Your lessons pull me through The road ahead is clearer All because of you
