Gully Rise

From a one-lane gully I was staring at the sky They laughed

when I said one day my name would rise Cracks in the

wall, rain in the room

Same old hunger, same old gloom Pockets on zero,

shoes worn thin

Still had a fire burning within Whole block talking,

saying sit back down

Boys like you never leave this town But I kept running

after that sound

A future nobody else had found No hand to hold,

no easy road Just these dreams I chose to load

Every scar became my proof I built my faith above that roof

I'm a dream chaser from the gully Heart full,

pockets empty They threw doubt but I ran through it Step by

step, I made them view it Dream chaser from the gully Came

up rough, stood up steady

If the road gets steep,

I still climb high From the gully to the open sky

Mornings were cold, I worked through pain

Turned my losses into lane after lane No cosign name,

no safety net

Only my word and the sweat I kept Friends fell off,

hope got thin

Still I chose not to give in

Every no became more fuel

Every hard day became my school

Now when I look back at that narrow street

I see a fighter with dust on his feet

He had nothing but a fearless sight And that was enough to

survive the night I'm a dream chaser from the gully Heart full,

pockets empty They threw doubt but I ran through it Step by

step, I made them view it Dream chaser from the gully Came

up rough, stood up steady

If the road gets steep,

I still climb high

From the gully to the open sky

From the gully to the open sky

Yeah, I kept that fire alive
