[Intro]
Watching shadows fall, wonder how we got here
Lines drawn in the sand, with our future unclear
[Verse 1]
Nearly forty-two million sitting on the brink
Hunger in the shadows, hear them when they scream
Politicians in their towers, sipping on their drinks
While the empty stomachs cry, it’s the broken American dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s to blame for the hunger, who’s to blame for the pain?
Is it all just a game, or are we going insane?
[Chorus]
We’re starving for freedom, starving for a fight
Darkness covers the city, no end in sight
They sit high and mighty, while we suffer underground
When will the dawn break, when will we be found?
[Verse 2]
Reaching out in the dark, fingers trying to grasp
Promises on the wind, slipping through the cracks
They talk about rights, but forget about us
While our kids go to bed hungry, losing their trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s the enemy now, are we all just pawns?
Caught in the crossfire, of battles long gone
[Chorus]
We’re starving for freedom, starving for a fight
Darkness covers the city, no end in sight
They sit high and mighty, while we suffer underground
When will the dawn break, when will we be found?
[Bridge]
Raise your voice, let it be heard, over silence and lies
Break down the walls, open your eyes
This isn’t how it’s meant to be, a land of plenty for all
Stand tall, stand free, answer the call
[Outro]
Waiting for the morning, hoping for a change
One voice at a time, rearranging the page
No more suffering in shadows, no more living in shame
This is our fight, for hope, for America’s name
