COINS INTO STARS

Once she counted every coin Just to make it through the night Now she places hope in hands That have never held the light She remembers empty mornings Cold stone underneath her feet Children hiding from the daylight Living where the shadows meet Every payment from the club Every night beneath the glow Leaves a little room for kindness Leaves a seed that she can sow What was taken out of hunger Can return as something bright Every coin becomes a promise Every promise becomes light From her hands Into their hearts Broken pieces Become stars Coins into stars, light in the dark One small flame becomes a spark Kick and bass, the night transforms Hope survives inside the storm Coins into stars, rise and shine No lost child gets left behind What she gives will travel far Every coin becomes a star She cannot change every sorrow She cannot erase each scar But she can make a different tomorrow For the children where they are Every light begins with giving Every dream begins somewhere Every heart that learns to trust again Finds a reason to repair Coins into stars, burning bright Golden fire in neon night From survival into grace Hope is written on her face Coins into stars, shining clear Turning every pain to cheer What she gives will travel far Every coin becomes a star Soft lights fall, the drums remain Hope keeps moving through the rain
