No Grain, No Cry

Soft wind, carry dreams across the empty streets Holding tight to faith We're the weak, bare hands Dig through the dirt for a single grain Eyes search the horizon through the pouring rain Ragged clothes hang loose on frames So thin, thin-wigged kids with hungry bellies Dreaming of full plate smothers Promises, promises seen in brocades fell Faith, father says Chase the shadows of jobs that fade away Yet in heartbeat a fire starts to play Rise up, rise up from the dust Let your spirit soar the poverty's grip's weak We need no more united in the struggle Our voices call as one, light breaks through the clouds The battle's just begun Rise up, rise up, feel the strength inside No chains can hold us, we'll turn the tide Cracked walls stories of harder times before For sharing scraps of bread knocking on every door Laughter finds a new door, laugh I love Through the weight we bear in simple moan We mend our hopes with threads of quiet prayer Planting tomorrow's harvest without despair Rise up from the dust, let your spirit soar Where poverty's grip's weak, we need no more United in the struggle, our voices call as one Light breaks through the clouds, the battle's just begun Rise up, rise up, feel the strength inside No chains can hold us, we'll turn the tide One step at a time, we climb the steepest hill Heart's beat as rhythm, heart's beat as rhythm Bending to our will, no storm lasts forever The dawn will we transform under endless sky Rise up from the dust, let your spirit soar Where poverty's grip's weak, we need no more United in the struggle, our voices call as one Light breaks through the clouds, the battle's just begun Rise up, rise up, feel the strength inside No chains can hold us, we'll turn the tide Rise up, spirit soar, no more Turn the tide, rise up, feel the strength Turn the tide Rise up Thanks for watching!
