Smokestack rising where the sun should be
Dark clouds hangin’ over me
But I keep hummin’ ‘cause I still believe
These blues might set me free
Smokestack prayer, reach the sky
Tell the angels I still try
Even when the night feels long
Smokestack prayer, keep me strong
Hands are dirty, but my soul still fights
One more day, one more night
Hope’s a spark in the factory glow
Singin’ loud so the world will know
If the dawn comes slow and gray
I’ll still sing my pain away
