When Rice Grows

When rice grows

Families can eat

Despite the poverty

Littering streets

When rice grows

We gain hope

And step further away

From inevitable rope

When rice grows

We stand tall

United and strong

Prepared for our downfall

When rice grows

We learn to cope

With unwashable fate

Despite the soap

When rice grows

Everything improves

But rice doesn't give the pilgrim

His Travelers shoes

When rice grows

The children can eat

But rice doesn't build the ground

Underneath our feet

When rice grows

Hope is prevailing

But rice doesn't break the fate

That lies in waiting

Yet rice makes foundations

And that will suffice

Because our current generation

Grows with the rice.
