[Verse]
Born in a church with no golden light
Roads made of gravel dreams in the night
Hands worked to the bone for the bread we've earned
Faith pierced in my soul but the world still burned
[Chorus]
Signed in blood and sweat we rise
Carving hope on bruised-up skies
Every tear falls for the dream we’ve fed
Signed in blood and sweat as we forge ahead
[Verse 2]
Broken strings but we play that tune
Hearts keep beating to the rhythm of the moon
Underneath the shadows where the wild dogs stay
We hold on to the promise of a brighter day
[Chorus]
Signed in blood and sweat we rise
Carving hope on bruised-up skies
Every tear falls for the dream we’ve fed
Signed in blood and sweat as we forge ahead
[Bridge]
Voices shout loud a choir of pain
Hymns of the lost echo in the rain
But through the storm we’ll sing our song
Blood and sweat built a love so strong
[Chorus]
Signed in blood and sweat we rise
Carving hope on bruised-up skies
Every tear falls for the dream we’ve fed
Signed in blood and sweat as we forge ahead
