For the Unpaid (Dark Blues & Dark Country Music)

Lyrics: Jesse Hull Music: Jesse Hull Raise your voice for the hands that fade Lift the sound for the lives betrayed This song's for the unpaid This song's for the unpaid Stealing stone in the dead of night Building towers without a spotlight Their echoes drown in the city hum But the beat of their hearts still drums Who sees the shadows Who hears a cry Raise your voice for the hands that fade Left the sound for the lies betrayed This song's for the unpaid This song's for the unpaid The clock strikes twelve but the work's not done No golden handshakes no rising sun They build the world yet stand in the shade This song's for the unpaid Raise your voice for the hands that fate Sing it loud this song for the unpaid For the ones who talk unseen betrayed Morning breaks but it feels the same Empty pockets and nameless shame A silent fight in the shadows wage Raise your voice for the hands that fade Sing it loud this songs for the unpaid For the ones who give yet never made Who builds the towers that touch the sun Who mends the heart when the works undone Who carries the world on the backs each day Raise your voice for the hands that fade Singing loud this song for the unpaid For the ones who dream But the price is paid
