पापा आलू

[Intro] Dust on the boots, a quiet dawn Fields whisper lessons I carry on [Verse 1] I learned to count the storms by the cornrows in my hands Every bruise a badge of faith that I understand The barn old as the hill, it holds my stubborn light I break the ground with patience, not with haste or spite [Pre-Chorus] And when the night gets heavy, I breathe through the ache Root my courage in the soil, let the old wounds take a break [Chorus] I grow slow, I grow steady, like grain in patient rows I weather the winds, I rise again when the cold wind blows This quiet strength, a river learned to bend but not break I’m rooted, reaching upward, for every dawn I make [Verse 2] Fence posts mark the miles where fear would like to stay I prune the doubt with tender hands, trim the runaway fade-away The kettle hums a lullaby, a schedule of small wins I mend what breaks in silence, again and again [Pre-Chorus] And when the night grows heavy, I listen for the spark A stubborn heart beating softly, lighting up the dark [Chorus] I grow slow, I grow steady, like grain in patient rows I weather the winds, I rise again when the cold wind blows This quiet strength, a river learned to bend but not break I’m rooted, reaching upward, for every dawn I make [Bridge] If the drought comes close, I’ll share what I’ve kept inside Water the memory of hope, let resilience be my guide [Chorus] I grow slow, I grow steady, like grain in patient rows I weather the winds, I rise again when the cold wind blows This quiet strength, a river learned to bend but not break I’m rooted, reaching upward, for every dawn I make [Outro] The sun climbs the fence line, kiss of gold on weathered skin I walk toward tomorrow, carrying all I’ve learned to Till again
