[Intro]
Dust on the boots, a new map in hand
Bright mornings drum a hopeful plan
[Verse 1]
I plant my dreams where rivers meet the sky
Work my hands till they tell a quiet lie
Under the sun, we rise, we keep the pace
But shadows follow, asking who takes this space
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the future, eyes like lanterns bright
We hold our kin close through the crowded night
[Chorus]
We build a home with hands and heart and fear
We sing to lift the weight that won’t disappear
In every street, a promise whispers clear
Belonging’s the dream we chase year after year
[Verse 2]
From distant shores, we brought our dawns and prayers
Counted the blessings, counted the grinning stares
Yet names can sting, and doors can close too fast
We keep on marching, hoping this will last
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands know the work, hearts know the road ahead
We guard each other when the walls feel threadbare
[Chorus]
We build a home with hands and heart and fear
We sing to lift the weight that won’t disappear
In every street, a promise whispers clear
Belonging’s the dream we chase year after year
[Bridge]
If you listen close, you hear the drums of kin
A chorus of courage where the brave begin
We’ll stand together till the dawn finds its place
Rooted in each other, in this crowded space
[Chorus]
We build a home with hands and heart and fear
We sing to lift the weight that won’t disappear
In every street, a promise whispers clear
Belonging’s the dream we chase year after year
[Outro]
One day the walls will soften, shadows fade
We’ll tell the story of the roads we paved
Till then we rise, with memory as our guide
Finding a world where we’re chosen to reside
