Endless Hours

Alarm goes off, you're still tired from yesterday Body aches but the work won't wait Another sixteen-hour day ahead But someone's counting on the roof over their head Your hands are rough, your back is sore But you get up and walk out that door 'Cause deep down you know what you're fighting for Even when you can't take much more Endless hours, but you don't quit Even when your body's had enough of it Some days you love it, some days you don't But you keep going when others won't These endless hours They're building something that's yours Paycheck to paycheck, but you make it stretch Every dollar earned with sweat on your chest There's pride in the work, even when it hurts Knowing you're the one who puts family first Eyes burn from staring at the screen too long But you push through 'cause you're staying strong Tomorrow you'll be tired all over again But tonight you can rest knowing you did what you can Endless hours, but you don't quit Even when your body's had enough of it Some days you love it, some days you don't But you keep going when others won't These endless hours They're building something that's yours They don't see the sacrifice you make The sleep you lose, the chances that you take But every hour that you put in counts Every struggle, every mountain that you mount Endless hours, and you don't quit Your heart's still beating, you're not done with it Some days you love it, some days you don't But you keep going when others won't These endless hours They're proof of who you are These endless hours... they're building who you are
