Rooted in the Sky

[Intro] Dust on the path, sun on the wheat Footprints steady, heartbeat concrete [Verse 1] A young man steps through the lanes of our town Market chatter, cattle bells, the hum of a crowd down Sari-clad elders, kids with chalk on walls He wears simple shoes, but his gaze stands tall [Pre-Chorus] Every brick in this village holds a story and pride Every sunrise says, keep your roots near your stride [Chorus] I am from here, where the fields meet the sky Where sleep is honest, and dreams don’t ask why Hands rough from labor, hopes soft as a shawl I’ll carry this soil in me, and I’ll rise after all [Verse 2] He learns the numbers on a chalkboard worn thin Counts on fingers, plans on a fresh-cut chin Neighbors share tea, a circle of trust He saves a little, for buses that lead to dust [Pre-Chorus] The radio hums with songs of a distant road But the heart stays planted, in this motherlode [Chorus] I am from here, where the fields meet the sky Where sleep is honest, and dreams don’t ask why Hands rough from labor, hopes soft as a shawl I’ll carry this soil in me, and I’ll rise after all [Bridge] Dreams whisper in the season’s rain and sun A future that glows when the harvest is done With every mile, a story grows new From clay to city, the same brave crew [Chorus] I am from here, where the fields meet the sky Where sleep is honest, and dreams don’t ask why Hands rough from labor, hopes soft as a shawl I’ll carry this soil in me, and I’ll rise after all [Outro] So I walk the lane, with a lantern and a plan Rooted in this village, with a future in my hands
