[Verse] Clock hits noon, the doorbell rings, A shadow stands where the daylight clings. Pockets light, but my heart is full, Trying to keep my ground, steady and whole. [Pre-Chorus] Words like thunder, but I stay calm, Breathing in deep, holding on to my song. [Chorus] When the landlord knocks and the rent is short, I’m standing here with a humble heart. Life’s a wave, sometimes we fall apart, But I’m grounded, soul shining, doing my part. [Verse] Dust on floors, worn-out shoes, Every step tells a story I choose. Counting coins, but I’m rich in dreams, Holding on to more than what it seems. [Pre-Chorus] Storms may come, but they don’t define, This steady soul and this heart of mine. [Chorus] When the landlord knocks and the rent is short, I’m standing here with a humble heart. Life’s a wave, sometimes we fall apart, But I’m grounded, soul shining, doing my part. [Bridge] There’s grace in the struggle, power in the fight, Even in shadows, I find my light. No gold or silver could ever replace, The strength in a warm and honest face. [Chorus] When the landlord knocks and the rent is short, I’m standing here with a humble heart. Life’s a wave, sometimes we fall apart, But I’m grounded, soul shining, doing my part. [Outro] Grounded soul, shining bright, Doing my part through the longest night.
