Roots of Tomorrow

Morning come and the rent still due Street wake up but the

work fall through

Shoes full dust on the broken lane Young hearts carry a quiet

pain I see promises peel from the wall

Big man talk but the paycheck small Still we rise when the

sun cut through Still we move,

what else can we do

Hold on, brother

Hold on, sister

Better days are coming Coming,

coming Lift your eyes to the morning To the morning Stand together,

keep on running Keep on running

One love strong, we keep believing Keep believing

Mama count coins by the kitchen light Youth them hustle till the

late-night sky

Bus stop crowded and the faces worn

Still a new dream get born each morn

Leaders sell words like a cheap parade We plant our hope where

the cracks have stayed From the hard gray street to the corner

shop

We bend, we bruise,

but we never stop Never stop We never stop Better

days are coming Coming,

coming Lift your eyes

to the morning To the morning Stand together,

keep on

running Keep on running One love strong,

we keep believing Keep believing If the road get rough,

we hold the line If the night stay long,

we guard the fire

Hand in hand till the day break wide Faith in the small

seed deep inside Rise up now

Rise up

now

Better days are coming Coming,

coming Lift your eyes to the morning To the morning Stand together,

keep on running Keep on running One love strong,

we keep believing Keep believing From these streets

we are rising

We are rising

New sun shine on the people

On the people
