Loading Dock Legends
Container ships stacked like
Legos in the bay
Each box somebody's life getting shipped away
Or maybe shipped to, depending on perspective
Loading dock legends, our collective
Crane operators like orchestra conductors
Moving metal mountains, world reconstructors
Longshoreman's prayer before each shift begins
Lord, let me clock out with the same bones I clocked in
We the loading dock legends, unsung and true
Moving the world while the world sleeps through
Every container holds somebody's dream
Loading dock legends, supreme team
Know every inch of this port like home
Cause it is home, where working men roam
Three generations of my family worked these docks
Teaching young bucks to respect the blocks
Not street blocks, shipping blocks, tonnage heavy
One mistake costs lives, stay ready
But we got each other, that's the code
Loading dock legends, story untold
They write articles about automation
But can't replace this dedication
Robots don't have families to feed
Loading dock legends, different breed
We the loading dock legends, unsung and true
Moving the world while the world sleeps through
Every container holds somebody's dream
Loading dock legends, supreme team
When you see that Made in tag
Remember who made sure it didn't lag
From port to porch, we made it happen
Loading dock legends, forever captain
