Tradiitional Country - part 8

We talk about “the economy” like it’s something out there, but it’s really us the people, the growers, the workers. Somewhere between the field and the table, that truth got lost. This song calls out the imbalance: billion-dollar ballrooms while families can’t afford a meal, farmers go broke, and ranchers lose land that’s been in the family for generations.

It’s not about blame it’s about remembering the connection. Feeding the hungry keeps the soul of the country alive. When we lift each other, everyone profits.

[Verse 1]
People hungry, farmers suffering
Ranchers fighting just to stay afloat
The fields still grow, but the debts keep rising
While city suits buy up the vote

[Verse 2]
We’ve got trucks of grain and shelves half-empty
Kids at the table saying grace on crumbs
When did the market lose its mercy
When did the balance tip for some

[Chorus]
There’s a disconnect in the heart of the land
Where a helping hand don’t reach the hands
Keep the people fed, keep the farmers strong
Keep the ranchers working, right what’s wrong
If you can spend three hundred million on a ballroom light
You can feed the hungry through the night

[Verse 3]
I see bankers building marble towers
While barns collapse in open fields
The price of pride keeps climbing higher
But hope’s still something love can yield

[Bridge]
Feeding the hungry ain’t charity it’s sense
It’s the fence that keeps the storm out
‘Cause when we lift each other
Everybody profits
Not in gold, but in grace
Not in numbers, but in names remembered

[Chorus – Refrain]
Keep the people fed, keep the circle true
From the soil to the plate, it all comes through you
If you can raise funds for chandeliers to shine
You can raise the light that feeds mankind

[Outro]
People hungry, farmers suffering
Ranchers fighting to keep afloat
But maybe grace still grows in the ground
If we remember what we sow
