[Intro]
Gray clouds roll in, sirens wail through the streets
The morning paper burns like memories, incomplete
[Verse 1]
Daddy's walking up the path, covered in ash
His postal bag hangs empty, today's the final dispatch
Coffee's getting cold in mama's trembling hands
While outside our window, chaos commands
Newark's burning heart, we're all falling apart
But daddy keeps his route, that's where it all starts
[Chorus]
In the smoke and haze of another hard day
Working man's blues won't wash away
Silent tears and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But we keep moving, keep that swing
Through the madness that life brings
[Verse 2]
Portuguese prayers echo down the block
Old Maria's rosary beads tick like a clock
Jasper watches from his window sill
As the city burns, but we're standing still
Daddy's uniform tells the story plain
Of a morning marked by grief and pain
[Bridge]
The rhythm of life got interrupted today
But tomorrow's beat will find its way
Through the ashes and the dust
In this city we still trust
Though our hearts may skip a beat
We've got music in these streets
[Chorus]
In the smoke and haze of another hard day
Working man's blues won't wash away
Silent tears and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But we keep moving, keep that swing
Through the madness that life brings
[Outro]
The coffee's cold, but daddy's home
Through concrete dust and broken bones
Newark keeps its steady pace
While jazz notes heal this broken space
Another day, another dawn
The rhythm changes, but life moves on
