[Verse]
City lights dimmed by the cries of the street
Power's out but the heat won't retreat
Leaders wearing gold while we beg for bread
Empty words falling
Where justice bled
[Chorus]
Broken promises in the heart of town
We keep standing though they knock us down
Dancing in shadows where truth won't stand
Fighting with hope in this broken land
[Verse 2]
Markets bustling yet hunger roars loud
Dreams get lost in the desperate crowd
Where's the fountain of oil that flows?
They build their castles while our struggle grows
[Chorus]
Broken promises in the heart of town
We keep standing though they knock us down
Dancing in shadows where truth won't stand
Fighting with hope in this broken land
[Bridge]
The voices of youth rise like a flame
Fighting for change though the odds stay the same
We sing loud while their greed takes a toll
But spirit's unbroken
We're claiming our goal
[Chorus]
Broken promises in the heart of town
We keep standing though they knock us down
Dancing in shadows where truth won't stand
Fighting with hope in this broken land
