The Man Who Fixed Things
[Verse 1] Thirty-five years with wire and will, You solved the problems others couldn't fill. Your office smells like sawdust and WD-40 rain, Every bolt you turned took somebody's pain. That beat-up fishing hat upon your head, A crown you'd never trade for gold instead. You never asked for glory, never took a bow, But we were always watching — we're still watching now. [Chorus] Ray, you're the hero of the quiet mornings, The steady hand when everything came undone. We see you standing tall through all the warnings — Seventy years, and you're still our number one. [Verse 2] You tear up when the anthem starts to play, Then blame the pollen — we don't look away. When life got heavy, you just smiled and said, "Could be worse, could be raining" — enough said. So here's to the man who fixed what couldn't break, Who gave us everything and asked for nothing's sake. Step out of the background, Dad, just for today, The whole world ought to know your name — Ray. [Chorus] Ray, you're the hero of the quiet mornings, The steady hand when everything came undone. We see you standing tall through all the warnings — Seventy years, and you're still our number one.
