LYRICS

Make it beautiful
Make it last
Make it beautiful
Make it last

Somebody tell me I’m not good at this so I can just go home, please
Thank you very much, please
I lay your tools across the bench in the way that you prefer
Chisel, awl, and auger

And I’m ok, I guess, at listening to the things I’m supposed to
Oak for chests and ash for bowls

Make it beautiful
Make it last
Make it beautiful
Make it last

Somebody tell me I’m not good at this so I can just go home, please
Thank you very much, please
I’ve got no masterwork, no masterwork hidden in these hands
Calloused as I am

And the alder remains an unhewn block
And I remain an apprentice
At night, I dream I am a chair

And it’s looking pretty bad but I know I can make it worse
And it’s looking pretty bad but I know I can make it worse
Here go my dumb hands again, oh, oh

Make it beautiful
Make it last
Make it beautiful
Make it last

Somebody tell me I’m not good at this so I can just go home, please
Thank you very much, please
It hurts my feelings to be told that I am doing well
Cedar, birch, and maple

And the alder remains an unhewn block
And I remain, I remain
The apprentice remains an unhewn block
And I remain, I remain
And in my dreams, a perfect chair
Purposeful and strong
Something to be proud of
Something to depend upon

Make it beautiful
Make it
