[Verse]
Born with bare hands no legacy to lend
Dragging his soul through roads that never end
Dust in his lungs and holes in his shoes
Each day a gamble nothing left to lose
[Verse]
Scraps on his plate dreams under siege
Working his fingers to the bone for reprieve
Chased by the shadows that whisper despair
A poor boy's burden too much to bear
[Chorus]
Heaven’s too high earth feels so low
Where is the mercy where does it go
One step forward two steps behind
Fighting each battle trapped in the grind
[Verse]
Climbs every ladder but they all fall apart
Bruised but relentless the fire in his heart
Storms never cease winds never slow
Hopes like a candle in the cold-blooded snow
[Bridge]
The weight of his world pressed on his frame
No silver spoon no fortune no fame
A voice in the silence calls him to fight
Through endless darkness seeking the light
[Chorus]
Heaven’s too high earth feels so low
Where is the mercy where does it go
One step forward two steps behind
Fighting each battle trapped in the grind
