[Verse] Elias goes to town today Shakes a hundred hands and waves Smiling bright the whole parade In his heart a hopeful flame [Verse 2] Promises and dreams he brings Helping hands and shiny things Hopes and plans like birdies sing Making change and spreading wings [Chorus] Elias Elias hear the cheer In the streets his name we hear Elias Elias never fear For the bright new days are near [Verse 3] Helping families making way Clearing clouds and paving gray In his path the children play Colors burst where shadows lay [Bridge] Meeting hearts and fixing roofs Honest words and simple truths Known to walk in humble shoes Elias in the news [Verse 4] Dreams for everyone he makes Planting seeds for future stakes With each step the ground will shake Elias hearts he never breaks
