Lyric

[Verse 1]

He’s out the door before the sun

Coffee in a travel cup

Traffic lights and worn-out dreams

Docked pay

But he still shows up

She ties her hair and checks the stove

Leaves a note beside the sink

Double shift

Her feet will ache

Still she smiles

Though she can’t blink

[Chorus]

We clock in

Carry on

Even when the days feel long

Every tired hand

Every quiet yawn

Is a little proof we’re strong

We’re holding up this whole small world

With these busted boots and calloused palms

We bend

We break

We love

We learn

We clock in

And we carry on

[Verse 2]

He counts the hours by the hum

Of broken vents and buzzing phones

Lunch at noon if there’s a lull

Standing up beside the coats

She steals a minute in the back

Texting

“How’s your day so far?”

He writes

“Same fight

Same paycheck

But I’m proud of who we are”

[Chorus]

We clock in

Carry on

Even when the days feel long

Every tired hand

Every quiet yawn

Is a little proof we’re strong

We’re holding up this whole small world

With these busted boots and calloused palms

We bend

We break

We love

We learn

We clock in

And we carry on

[Bridge]

Some days it feels like spinning wheels

Like running just to stay

But then your voice cuts through the noise

And it all feels okay (Mm)

So when the weight sits on my chest

And the night drags on too late

You hold my face

You say

“We’re blessed

We’ll keep showing up in faith” (Hey)

[Chorus]

We clock in

Carry on

Even when the days feel long

Every tired hand

Every quiet yawn

Is a little proof we’re strong

We’re holding up this whole small world

With these busted boots and calloused palms

We bend

We break

We love

We learn

We clock in

And we carry on

[Outro]

Turn out the lights

Hang up our coats

Lay down the weight we’ve borne all day

Side by side on this old couch

Resting up to try again

We’ll clock in

And carry on
