[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
