Child of the dust

[Intro] [Harmonica] [Guitar] [Picking] [Extended] **Verse 1:** In a small, dusty town, where the shadows play, A kid of eight years, with dreams far away. No name in the papers, just a face in the crowd, He’s a silent wanderer, both lost and proud. **Chorus:** Child of the dust, with a heart so bold, In a world so tough, where the nights are cold. Chasing the light, through the hardest days, He’s a dreamer at heart, in the old ways. **Verse 2:** By twelve, he’s seen the struggle, felt the pain of want, Running through the fields, he’s a soldier in a fight. With a worn-out shirt and a beat-up hat, He’s forging his path, through the shadows and the cracks. **Chorus:** Child of the dust, with a heart so bold, In a world so tough, where the nights are cold. Chasing the light, through the hardest days, He’s a dreamer at heart, in the old ways. **Bridge:** With every sunrise, he’s fighting to survive, In a world that’s tough, he’s trying to thrive. His dreams are his compass, guiding him through, In the heart of the struggle, he’s finding what's true. **Verse 3:** The years go by, and the boy starts to change, From a child of the dust, to a spirit unchained. He’ll carry his past as he rides through the night, With the stars as his guide and the moon as his light. **Chorus:** Child of the dust, with a heart so bold, In a world so tough, where the nights are cold. Chasing the light, through the hardest days, He’s a dreamer at heart, in the old ways. **Outro:** The story begins, with the dawn of a man, From a nameless kid to a life unplanned. Through the highs and lows, he’ll always find, The heart of the journey, in the dust of time. [Fadeout]
