Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Empty pockets, broken dreams, shadows on the wall Watching pretty curtains fall, as we hear the midnight call [Verse 1] Running in a world that's shifting, lost amidst the crowd Trying to hold on to the voice that once was loud Jobs are slipping through our hands like sand beneath our feet Promises of better days, lie there broken in the street [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the silent cry? Through the ache and through the lie All we wanted was to fly, now we’re just trying to get by And life keeps knocking us around and beats us to the ground We gotta keep on rising up and hang in another round. If we do maybe we can make it safe and sound. [Chorus] Oh, I want the life they said was mine, when I was just a child Dreams as big as galaxies, but all I see is decline The world’s grown cold and cruel, our hopes caught in the rain A song for the lost, a prayer for the pain [Verse 2] Groceries are rising high, like mountains I can't climb Evil hands are pulling strings, stealing cause and stealing every dime They don’t see the tears we hide, behind the weary eyes Living in a nightmare, surviving under broken skies [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the silent cry? Through the ache and through the lie All we wanted was to fly, now we’re just trying to get by And life keeps knocking us around and beats us to the ground We gotta keep on rising up and hang in another round. If we do maybe we can make it safe and sound. [Chorus] Oh, I want the life they said was mine, when I was just a child Dreams as big as galaxies, but all I see is decline The world’s grown cold and cruel, our hopes caught in the rain A song for the lost, a prayer for the pain [Bridge] Is there hope beyond this storm? Will the dawn bring something new? Or are we doomed to wander through the gray and blue? Searching for a promise kept, in the ashes of our youth Fighting just to breathe, just to hold onto the truth [Outro] All I want is to believe, in the dawn, in the light Hold on to the dreams we hold, through the endless night Living in this hell, with a silent wish to mend One day we’ll find our way, and this song will end
