[Verse]
Dust in the wind
Ash on the floor
Whispers of lives that aren’t here anymore
A child’s cry
It cuts through the night
But who’s left to hear
Who’s left to fight
[Chorus]
Children of dust
Where do you go
When the world turns its back
When the rivers won’t flow
Empty hands
Empty skies
Silent screams in the dark
The heart of a nation reduced to a spark
[Verse 2]
Walls made of shadows
Streets paved with fear
They erase your name
But your soul’s still here
The bread turns to stone
The water runs dry
How do you dream when the stars won’t reply
[Prechorus]
They build their kingdoms
They close their eyes
While the smoke of your story fills up the skies
[Chorus]
Children of dust
Where do you go
When the world turns its back
When the rivers won’t flow
Empty hands
Empty skies
Silent screams in the dark
The heart of a nation reduced to a spark
[Bridge]
But ashes can rise
Though they bury the flame
And tears carve the truth through the weight of the shame
Your spirit’s a river
It cannot be tamed
Your voice is the echo that calls out their names
