He's pounding leather on a Memphis street He's doing business for the tired and 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 been 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 the invisible kingdom He's invisible to the man of means Invisible to the social scene
He quietly goes on building the invisible 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 tell the heads of state That if we ever lose these silent saints Without their light, this place is gonna be a darker town They're invisible back in Hollywood Invisible to the world's blue blood They quietly go on building the invisible kingdom They're invisible to the man of means Invisible to the social scene They quietly go on building the invisible kingdom
