Steel & Sunrise Anthem

Lyrics

[INTRO] Dust swirls in the dawn light, the hammer beats a steady drum. Red dirt on the road, a soul that's still hums. [VERSE 1] Wake up before the rooster, before the city breathes, Coffee on the stove, the weight of steel beneath. Hands calloused from the metal, eyes still full of dreams, Every scar a story, every line a theme. Back in the shop, the clang echoes loud, A boy on a bench, now a man in a crowd. Took a bottle for the pain, found the river in the night, But the sun still rises, he won’t give up the fight. [CHORUS] We’re built from broken pieces, from the grit of the streets, From the sweat on the forearm, from the hope that repeats. Raise your hands up high, feel the anthem ignite, From the fields to the factories, we’re rewriting the light. We’re standing tall, we’re standing proud, From the broken roads to the dreams we avowed. We’re the backbone, the heart, the story told— America, this is our anthem, this is our gold. [VERSE 2] Late nights on the job, the lights flicker like a flame, The whistle blows, a lullaby in the game. Family by the porch, a laugh that’s a hymn, The kids in the back seat, the future’s on a whim. Got a call from the past, a whisper of the pain, But the steel’s in the chest, he won’t be the same. He took the weight of the world on his shoulders, Said, “I’m the man who broke the mold, I’ll never fold.” [ROCK RAP] Yo, it’s the grind that defines me, From the cracks in the road to the city’s gleam. I’ve been a soldier in the trenches of addiction, But the faith in my heart kept the fire in action. They said I’d fall, I’d break, but I kept the torch, Now I’m the firestarter, I’m the one that’s strong. My legacy is carved on every concrete block, I’m the voice of the silent, the light in the dark.
