Shadows of the Street

We walk the streets where dreams collide

Empty pockets but hearts with pride

A battle fought under neon skies

Youthful fire

It never dies

We rise

We fall

The world is cold

But in these cracks

Our stories unfold

From broken homes to endless fight

We shine like stars in the darkest night

Hunger gnaws

But we still laugh

Sketching futures on a torn-up map

Shoes worn thin

But spirits run deep

We plant our hopes where shadows creep

No silver spoons

Just rusted forks

Building castles from sidewalk chalk

We’re the voices they try to ignore

But our echoes will shake the core

We rise

We fall

The world is cold

But in these cracks

Our stories unfold

From broken homes to endless fight

We shine like stars in the darkest night

Poverty's chains can’t hold us down

We wear our struggles like a crown

With every step

We claim our space

Turning despair into a sacred place
