Do It Like It's Your Holy

Granddad had an old alarm clock, plastic face and steel

He'd swing his feet to the cold floorboards before the sun got red

Poor Cubs stare out the window, quiet as the pines

Say a simple thank you like it saved his life sometimes

I was young and I was hurried, thinking I knew what mattered most

Chasing oars and neon living, never missing what I missed

Then I grew into the fast lane, learned to shake the right hands

Business started climbing, I was flying over new lands

I'd call home from a hotel, watching headlights slide

And I noticed when the good came, my gratitude got shy

I only talked to heaven when the wheels were in the ditch

Like a friend you only phone when you need a favor quick

One night I heard that old clock in my head, and it hit me what Granddad meant

Do it like it's holy, like it matters even small

Like the way you treat a stranger is the measure of it all

Say thank you when you're steady, say it when you're lonely

Keep your pride on a short leash, keep your heart low key

Cause a grind can make you empty, and the wind can make you lonely

So I'm living every moment, yeah I'm doing it like it's holy

Now my works and rules and hard truths, coaching through the heat

Paper trails and tightrope walking, keeping folks on their feet

Some days I feel the pressure, everybody's got a side

But I learned you can be truthful and still be kind

So I listen before I answer, I don't swing before I see

Try to hold both justice and mercy in the same two hands only

When I'm tempted to get bitter, when I'm tempted to get proud

I take a breath and I say it out loud
