In the shadows of the city, where the lights don't reach
There's a tale of two worlds, a silent speech
Skyscrapers kiss the heavens, in the slums they weep
Dreams are sold for pennies, promises they can't keep

Oh, life's a bitter game of give and take
Some are born to lose, others born to break
The scales unbalanced, a heavy weight
In the dance of fate, we're not all the same

On the gilded avenues, where fortunes roam
Lies a path of roses, leading to a golden dome
But turn the corner, and you'll soon find
Streets that tell a story, of being left behind

Oh, life's a bitter game of give and take
Some are born to shine, others just to ache
The scales unbalanced, a cruel twist of fate
In the dance of life, we don't all partake

It's a world of contrast, from dark to light
From the day's bright promise to the cold, harsh night
Where some hands are empty, while others hold too tight
To the strings of power, out of sight

Oh, life's a bitter game of give and take
Some are born to shine, others just to ache
The scales unbalanced, a cruel twist of fate
In the dance of life, we don't all partake
Oh, life's a bitter game of give and take
Some are born to shine, others just to ache
The scales unbalanced, a cruel twist of fate
In the dance of life, we don't all partake

So let's sing for the voiceless, the unseen
For the dreams bright promise to the cold, harsh night
Where some hands are empty, while others hold too tight
To the strings of power, out of sight

So let's sing for the voiceless, the unseen
For the dreams that wither, and what could've been
May we find the courage, to rewrite the scene
Where the scales of life balance, in between
