lyrics

It's midnight again
Lonely, but hardly the end
Of the day
This prayer that I pray
For our children to grow

And we'll call this town
The end of the line for now
My family tries
But never finds
A way out

I know that
Learning is all we have
To break the chains
While the wheel of poverty remains

For late night boys
Running through streets of noise
The market is closed
And I feel like a ghost
In the rain

For those good night girls
Dreaming of baby's curls
Wishing they knew
Just what to do
They're getting crushed by the wheel

I know that
Learning is all we have
To break the chains
While the wheel of poverty remains

Kalingkawasa kapit-os (hangtud tanaan)

Until we all are free from poverty…
