[verse]

In the early dawn I walk away

Eyes are closed my heart starts to sway

On my shoulder hopes held tight

Footsteps guide me through the night

[verse]

Under scorching sun the city screams

Clock keeps ticking stealing dreams

Your call vibrates through midday air

One deep breath and I’ll be there

[pre-chorus]

Sometimes longing creeps so slow

I hug your shadow when winds blow

You pack my lunch with love and prayer

That’s enough for storms to bear

[chorus]

I work all day to keep us strong

Each drop of sweat holds our song

You wait at home with patient grace

I’ll return with love’s embrace

[chorus]

I work all day to keep us strong

Each drop of sweat holds our song

You wait at home with patient grace

I’ll return with love’s embrace

[outro]
