[Verse 1]

A young man and a woman moved across sea

To start a new life and a family

He built this fucking city with his two bare hands

The woman stayed at home

She did all she could for them

I'll break ground like you did

All I need is a chance

[Chorus]

I'll make something of this

I promise I won't let you down

I'll take something from it and show them

I want you to be proud

Thanks for all the things you did, all the sacrifices made

I know we never met

But there's still one thing that I want to say

Thanks, thanks for paving the way for me

[Verse 2]

The groundwork's been laid

And I'm so afraid of what's to come

But who's to say what's right or wrong anyway?

I'll face my fears head on just like the man I never met

The man who I heard was so strong

I'll take this fucking city on with two bare hands

Won't need any help because I've got my friends and a chance

I finally found a chance

[Chorus]

I'll make something of this

I promise I won't let you down

I'll take something from it and show them

I want you to be proud

Thanks for all the things you did, all the sacrifices made

I know we never met

But there's still one thing that I want to say

Thanks, thanks for paving the way for me

For me
