[Verse]
Worn out shoes on a dusty road
Empty pockets but a heart of gold
Under the stars my dreams take flight
A faded hope burns through the night
[Chorus]
One day I'll rise one day I'll shine
Build my world with these hands of mine
The clouds will part the sun will glow
Watch me grow watch me grow
[Verse 2]
I've known hunger I've known pain
But I'll dance barefoot in the pouring rain
They say the climb’s too steep too tall
But I won't stop till I have it all
[Chorus]
One day I'll rise one day I'll shine
Build my world with these hands of mine
The clouds will part the sun will glow
Watch me grow watch me grow
[Bridge]
These cracked hands will hold the flame
Keep burning clear through hurt and shame
A poor man's dreams blaze bold and loud
I'll reach the sky I'll touch the clouds
[Chorus]
One day I'll rise one day I'll shine
Build my world with these hands of mine
The clouds will part the sun will glow
Watch me grow watch me grow
