Dust clouds roll like thunder over empty fields of gold
Banks came calling, took the tractor, left us out here in the cold
Packed the truck with what we got, kids staring at the line
Chasing dreams down a broken highway, praying for a sign
We ain't the first to lose it all, won't be the last to fight
Hearts still beating through the hunger in the dead of desert night
Keep on rolling, wheels on fire, through the promised land of lies
Families breaking, spirits aching under endless empty skies
But something's rising in the silence, in the rage we hold inside
We are the many, we won't die quiet, gonna turn this pain to tide
We're gonna turn this pain to tide
California sun beats heavy on these faces cracked and worn
Orchards full but gates are locked, wages cut till hope is torn
Bosses smiling while we starve, camps turned into cages
Still we share the last of water, turning strangers into family pages
Keep on rolling, wheels on fire, chasing ghosts across the plain
Hearts are heavy, roads are weary, but the fire don't fade away
Something's rising in the thunder, in the voices unified
We are the restless, we keep moving, gonna claim what we provide
We're gonna claim what we provide
Rain might fall or ground stay dry, tomorrow's just a maybe
But hands that work these stolen fields still reach for what they gave me
No more kneeling to the system that forgot the working poor
We'll stand together in the dirt until they open up the door
Keep on rolling, wheels on fire, through the dust and through the fight
Souls are weary, dreams are blurry, but tomorrow owns the light
Something's rising like a river, flooding valleys we once knew
We are the people, unbreakable, the story lives in you
The story lives in you
The story lives in you
