[Intro]
Lost in translation, papers in hand
Another border, another promised land
[Verse 1]
Steel-eyed guards at gates of gold
Trading dreams for what the system sold
Packed my life in a carry-on
Everything I own, now everything's gone
Night trains running through foreign lands
While my mother's voice slips through my hands
[Chorus]
Hard carry, hard carry
The weight of generations on my back
Hard carry, hard carry
Push through the night, stay on track
When the world comes crashing, crashing down
We rise above, we won't drown
Hard carry, hard carry
Until we break or break through
[Verse 2]
City lights blind but we keep moving on
New faces, new names, but something feels wrong
Working double shifts just to stay alive
While they're living large, we barely survive
But f*ck their system, we'll find our way
Every rejection makes us stronger today
[Bridge]
We dance through hell
With heaven in sight
One more day
One more fight
[Chorus]
Hard carry, hard carry
The weight of generations on my back
Hard carry, hard carry
Push through the night, stay on track
When the world comes crashing, crashing down
We rise above, we won't drown
Hard carry, hard carry
Until we break or break through
[Outro]
(We rise, we rise, we rise)
Through the darkness into light
(We rise, we rise, we rise)
Until we touch the sky
