Verse 1

I had two little babies and a dream in my heart,

No one handed me a map, I just learned as I walked.

Some nights I was tired, some days I was scared,

But I kept putting one foot in front of the other,

Like somebody cared.

I learned how to stretch a dollar,

How to make a little go a long way,

How to hold those babies close

And still show up the next day.

Chorus

Look what I made, with these two hands,

A little piece of heaven on a little piece of land.

I raised two babies, built these walls,

Climbed that ladder when they thought I'd fall.

While the whole world's getting harder just to get by,

I'm planting my own food underneath this sky.

I didn't wait for somebody to save me—

I just kept going...

Look what I made.

Verse 2

I started at the bottom, learned the ropes,

Worked my way up on a whole lot of hope.

There were people who thought I couldn't make it that far,

But I kept showing up and becoming who I am.

Now there's a house where there once was ground,

Every board and every nail has a story to tell.

And there's a garden in the summer sun,

Giving back a little for all that I've done.

Chorus

Look what I made, with these two hands,

A little piece of heaven on a little piece of land.

I raised two babies, built these walls,

Climbed that ladder when they thought I'd fall.

While the whole world's getting harder just to get by,

I'm planting my own food underneath this sky.

I didn't wait for somebody to save me—

I just kept going...

Look what I made.

Bridge

I don't need a mansion,

I don't need a name in lights.

Give me a patch of dirt,

A porch and a quiet night.

I'll grow what I can,

I'll make what I need,

And I'll teach my children

What it means to believe.

Final Chorus

Look what I made, Lord, look at me now,

I took every “you can't” and turned it around.

Two babies grown from the love that I gave,

A house from the dirt, a life that I made.

And when this world gets expensive

And the road gets rough,

I'll keep finding a way

'Cause I've always been enough.

I didn't get lucky,

I didn't get saved—

I worked, I prayed,

I loved, I stayed.

And if you ever wonder

How I got this far,

Just look at these hands,

And look at this heart.

I made it on my own.

And look what I made.
