Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Born with dirt on our hands, hope in our eyes Chasing something better under borrowed skies Daddy said work hard, don’t ask why So we carried the weight and let the years roll by Pre-Chorus Every promise sounded solid back then Every road felt wide open Somewhere between the dream and the rent We never forgot why we pay it Chorus This is the struggle Hands on the wheel, foot on the line Trying to make a living without losing our minds This is the struggle Heart says run, world says stay We give it all just to get through the day Yeah, this is the struggle Verse 2 Built these towns out of sweat and prayer Watched the suits take more than their share They call it progress, call it fate But it feels like we’re always a step too late Pre-Chorus Every rule was meant to keep us safe Every fence had a reasonable place Now we’re boxed in, counting days Just looking for a little grace Chorus This is the struggle Dust in the lungs, fire in the chest Trying to be more than a line on a desk This is the struggle Hope with a crack, faith beat down Still standing here on stubborn ground Yeah, this is the struggle Bridge Round and round, the same old ground New faces, same old towns But there’s a spark they never take A choice we still can make Breakdown We ain’t the crown We ain’t the throne We’re the ones still holding on Final Chorus This is the struggle Love versus fear, truth versus pay Trying to stay human along the way This is the struggle If there’s a win, it’s staying true Not what the world takes—what we choose Yeah, this is the struggle Outro Yeah, this is the struggle… And we’re still standing.
