Ten Thousand Hours

by Luo & Suno

This song is all about the idea that becoming great at anything takes serious commitment and a whole lot of hours. Whether it's strumming your guitar on the porch or pushing through the grind of everyday life, the road to greatness isn't easy. We talk about the “ten thousand hours” — that belief that true expertise only comes after countless hours of practice and failure. It's about showing up, again and again, putting in the work, and learning from every setback along the way.

Lyrics That Speak to Anyone on a Journey

In Ten Thousand Hours, the lyrics tell a familiar story: struggling, stumbling, but ultimately pushing forward. There’s no quick fix, no easy way to success – just the grind and the perseverance. Here’s a look at the full set of lyrics:

Song Lyrics:

Sittin' on my porch with my old guitar in hand
Strummin' out some chords tryna make a stand
But the road to greatness I've come to understand
Takes more than just a few strums it's a lifelong brand

Ten thousand hours that's what they all say
Dedicated practice day after day
But I won't let it break me no I won't sway
Gonna keep on pushin' gonna find my own way

Ten thousand hours in the heat and the rain
Through the joy and the sorrow through the love and the pain
With every strum every chord I play
I'm gettin' closer I'm on my way

Sometimes I stumble sometimes I fall
But I pick up my guitar stand up tall
'Cause ten thousand hours they answer the call
Of a master in the making breaking down the wall
Oh the journey's long and the road is winding
But with ten thousand hours I'm finding
That every sunrise every setting sun
Is another step closer another battle won

Ten thousand hours in the heat and the rain
Through the joy and the sorrow through the love and the pain
With every strum every chord I play
I'm gettin' closer I'm on my way

Sometimes I stumble sometimes I fall
But I pick up my guitar stand up tall
'Cause ten thousand hours they answer the call
Of a master in the making breaking down the wall
