If I were a bear, I'd be the greatest of all

With a speech like God so dark and foreboding

Standing up tall from the top of that hill

I'd growl up your fears from down below

They're restless spinning around

Twisting hungry spitting tongues are restless

In the form of the God that's speaking out

Speaking out, speaking out



Laying bricks, growing walls, clicking stone

And the sound that's awful in our ears

Forcing sprouts and speaking out

Speaking out, speaking out



Like a carpenter

Like these weathermen

Like my brother

These hands they never sleep

Like the foundation

Like the frames that meet

Like these builders

These hands they never sleep



If I were a God I'd be the greatest of all

With a speech so soft that loud it would kill you

Standing up tall from the top of that hill

I'd shout out commands to down below

They are restless tangled mess protests burned

And ears that bleed in rivers through the pipes

That heat your homes and families' plates



Speaking out, speaking out



Like a carpenter

Like these weathermen

Like my brother

These hands they never sleep

Like the foundation

Like the frames that meet

Like these builders

These hands they never sleep
