He's pounding leather on a Memphis street
He's doing business for the tired and the weak
He would be wealthy if he had a dime for every mile
He's pouring granite into hearts of men
Leaves a foundation every place he's seen
Asking for nothing but a handshake or a smile
He's never noticed by this town's elite
You don't see limo's cruising down third street
It's no big deal 'cause showing off is not his quiet style

He's invisible back in Hollywood
Invisible to the world's blue blood
He quietly goes on building kingdom
Invisible to the man of means
Invisible to the social scene
He quietly goes on building kingdom

He's gives his life and never ask for pay
A see through man just doesn't see that way
It's bringing hope into his world, that keeps his motor wound
Somebody ought to warn the heads of state
That if we ever lose our silent saints
Without their light this place is gonna be a darker town
He's invisible back in Hollywood
Invisible to the world's blue blood
He quietly goes on building kingdom
They're invisible to the man of means
Invisible to the social scene
They quietly go on building kingdom
