[Verse 1]
On a dusty road of broken dreams,
Where the shops all closed too soon,
Empty pockets, tired hearts,
Singing sorrow to the moon.
Mama counting every coin,
Daddy staring at the wall,
Promises were fading fast,
Like pictures on the hall.
[Chorus]
Oh, when the money ran dry,
And the hope fell from the sky,
We held our hands together,
Swore we wouldn’t say goodbye.
Through the tears and hungry nights,
We kept our fire alive,
In the darkest days of living,
We learned how to survive.
[Verse 2]
Old men sitting in the shade,
Talking ‘bout the better days,
When work was strong and bread was cheap,
And dreams were easy to chase.
Children drawing castles high,
On the sand beside the road,
Building wealth with broken sticks,
Teaching hearts to carry loads.
[Chorus]
Oh, when the money ran dry,
And the hope fell from the sky,
We held our hands together,
Swore we wouldn’t say goodbye.
Through the tears and hungry nights,
We kept our fire alive,
In the darkest days of living,
We learned how to survive.
[Bridge]
Banks of gold and towers tall,
Never heard the poor man’s cry,
While we prayed for tomorrow,
Under restless, empty skies.
But faith was our currency,
Love our only loan,
In a world that took our riches,
We were never alone.
[Verse 3]
From the ashes of the pain,
We planted seeds of grace,
With broken tools and wounded hands,
We rebuilt this place.
Every scar became a story,
Every loss a song,
We turned our tears to rivers,
And kept on moving on.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, when the money ran dry,
And the hope fell from the sky,
We stood up in the storm,
With courage in our eyes.
Through the struggle and the strain,
Through the fall and rise,
We found our wealth in loving hearts,
And truth that never dies.
[Outro]
So if tomorrow’s shadow comes,
And fortune passes by,
Remember how we made it through,When the money ran dry…
