Lyrics “Dreaming and working”

(Verse 1)
The sun rises over the city rooftops today
On the blue collars and those seeking their way.
Some are striking iron, some writing on a screen
Some running all day, a part of the machine.
We are the gears, the flesh, and the breath
In this world racing fast, chasing life and death.

(Pre-Chorus)
And today the squares are filling with voices
Under flags waving high, making our choices.
It’s not just a day for rest and for play
But the cry of those who won’t turn away.

(Chorus)
For every hand that builds a new day
For the dignity we carry, come what may.
The First of May is a wind that won’t cease
For a fair job’s wage, for a world in peace.
The earth is singing, the workshop rings out
From the very first shift, hear the workers shout!

(Verse 2)
There’s the dream of a kid with a bag on his back
And those who gave their lives to keep us on track.
We aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet line
But real-life stories, yours and mine.
Sweat has the same color wherever you go
For those who fought hard and refused to say no.

Rights, respect, safety, and a future to see
Breaking every wall, setting our spirits free.
Because work is our bread, it’s our liberty
The living heartbeat of humanity!

(Chorus)
For every hand that builds a new day
For the dignity we carry, come what may.
The First of May is a wind that won’t cease
For a fair job’s wage, for a world in peace.
The earth is singing, the workshop rings out
From the very first shift, hear the workers shout!

(Outro)
Hands and dreams…
Dreams and hands…
Happy May Day to those who take a stand.
