Oh, welding, how your sparks do fly
As metal bonds beneath your eye
With flame and heat, you’re almost done,
What once was separate is now joined as one
Your artistry is not for all
It takes a steady hand to call
The arc to life, to make it sing
And fashion shapes from everything
You bring together steel and might
With precision that is out of sight
Your workmanship, a thing of lore
As strength and beauty come to shore
From cars and planes to ships at sea
You hold them fast with bravery
And in the hands of masters, true
You turn dull metal into art anew
Oh, welding, how you’ve changed the world
With strength and beauty, you’ve unfurled
A legacy that will endure
Of bonds that hold, of metal sure
We sing your praises loud and clear
And bow to your great craftsmanship, dear
For in your flames and sparks, we see
A world of endless possibility.
