Dawn on the Block

[Intro] Streetlight glow on dusty roads Kids drum the night with hopeful codes [Verse 1] Gleaming dreams hide in the shade of tin roofs Markets hum with deals and unspoken truths Mother’s prayers ride the breeze like a song Trying to keep a beat when the night stays long [Chorus] We rise in the cracks of a crowded dawn Dreams echo strong, we keep moving on Hands that hustle, hearts that hold the line Hope is a fire that won’t resign [Verse 2] Bikes whistle past, a convoy of small prayers Old posters tell stories of forgotten years Children count stars over a crowded street Finding the music in every drumbeat [Chorus] We rise in the cracks of a crowded dawn Dreams echo strong, we keep moving on Hands that hustle, hearts that hold the line Hope is a fire that won’t resign [Bridge] If the lights dim, we spark our own way Voices united, turning night into day [Chorus] We rise in the cracks of a crowded dawn Dreams echo strong, we keep moving on Hands that hustle, hearts that hold the line Hope is a fire that won’t resign [Outro] Street by street, we write our own fate Together we stand, never surrender to fate
