Verse 1
I know there are times when you feel low,
All you have are shattered dreams, a bruised ego.
Disappointments follow you wherever you go,
Could have been a sunny day, but the clouds say, “No.”

All your fears begin to grow,
You borrow and you borrow, there are people you owe.
Goodbye to the friends that you used to know,
You need a helping hand, but no one shows.

Verse 2
You lie to your maa, saying, “Everything is okay,”
But for real, you ain’t even got ten bucks to spare.
Pain written on your face like karaoke,
Can’t you hear my prayer? God, are you there?

You got no net on a tightrope,
It’s an uphill climb—find the right slope.
Don’t give up, ’cause one day, you can rule the globe.
My friend, all you need is a pocket full of hope.

Chorus
There are times you may just feel low and have no place to go,
And things are just falling apart—no doors open no more.
Empty wallets, empty house, and empty envelopes,
You’re still a millionaire inside, my friend, with a pocket full of hopes.

Verse 3
You try really, really hard, but you don’t succeed,
You try to get up, but your legs won’t believe.
You cry and plead… it’s getting hard to breathe,
My blood goes cold, and my heart defeat.

With no clue what is really planned for you,
You can’t retry what you can’t renew.
Remember in the dark what He told you in the light,
And things will happen for you out of the blue.

Verse 4
Your motivation and spirit is finished,
You’re always thinking about the past like you’re in it.
Stop cribbing about the things that you don’t have,
Focus only on what’s yours at the minute.

I know within—this is not how my story ends,
Many blank pages, and I hold the pen.
My friend, your hopes will give you strength,
You gotta remind yourself where it all began.

Chorus
There are times you may just feel low and have no place to go,
And things are just falling apart—no doors open no more.
Empty wallets, empty house, and empty envelopes,
You’re still a millionaire inside, my friend, with a pocket full of hopes.

Outro
Do you remember all the dark days
When we used to move in the hard ways?
We’re here today by God’s grace. (x2)

I just wanna heal, my Lord,
Tell me how to deal, my Lord. (x2)

My mom used to tell me the story of a bamboo tree
He asked god it’s been years why im still buried
He said i made you stand tall and touch the sky
And now am making your roots grow strong and deep

So For the times when u self doubt, sit and weep
And when you can’t sleep speak and things look bleak
Remember the bamboo kid reached his peak
And you will too, put an end to this hide and seek

Jab raasta koi na dikhe aur badta jaye boj
Jab na chale koi sang tere jab na dikhe koi dost
Aanshu rukne ka naam na le na maa ley paaye godh
Thodi jeb ko tatol sahi tujhe mil jayenge hopes

There are times you may just feel low and have no place to go,
And things are just falling apart—no doors open no more.
Empty wallets, empty house, and empty envelopes,
You’re still a millionaire inside, my friend, with a pocket full of hopes.
