[Verse]
Sleeping in the dark alleys
Dreams in the gutter
Fingers on the fretboard
Wondering what to mutter
Songs of sorrow and hard-
Earned strife
Caught in echoes of a hard
Knock life
[Verse]
Busking by the corner in
The cold night mist
Grasping at hope with
Barely a clenched fist
Times in the shadows
Waiting to be found
A voice so heavy it’ll shake
The ground
[Chorus]
Oh rising star hear the
Whispers in the air
From the bottom now to
Silver-sheen glare
Burned in the dark now you
Blaze the sky
Flames of talent can’t be
Denied
[Verse]
Empty pockets heavy heart
Still you sing
Lonely stars crowning
Dreams every ring
Blisters on your fingers
Bleeding truth
Breaking chains never
Leaving your youth
[Verse]
Now your name echoes in
Lights so bright
From alley concerts
Flights in the night
Screams once whisper loud
And free
From nobody to somebody
Oh can’t you see
[Bridge]
Through nights so cold
Through days so long
Carving destiny singing
Your song
Every hardship every tear
Now fades
In the brightness of
Spotlights and accolades
[Chorus]
Oh rising star hear the
Whispers in the air
From the bottom now to
Silver-sheen glare
Burned in the dark now you
Blaze the sky
Flames of talent can’t be
Denied
