Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Corner of Sixteenth where the pavement sings
Hands on a rolling cart and a crown on my mind
Every block a chapter every stoop a throne
I stack the boxes high and I walk it alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Mission homes
Where the marigolds grow
From the cracks in the concrete
We still find a way to glow
[Chorus]
Mission homes and food on wheels
That's the story that my hunger tells
I roll through the rain I roll through the haze
Every plate I pass is a prayer I raise
[Verse 2]
Sunrise at the shelter steam on the glass
Old man by the doorway counting hours as they pass
I hand him something warm and he nods like we're kin
That's the currency that nobody can spend
[Pre-Chorus]
Mission homes
Where the neighbors all know
Your name and your story
And which way the wind blows
[Chorus]
Mission homes and food on wheels
That's the story that my hunger tells
I roll through the rain I roll through the haze
Every plate I pass is a prayer I raise
[Bridge]
I've seen the city turn its collar to the cold
Seen the ones who taught me how to be bold
They gave from nothing and somehow had more
That's the gospel I carry to every door
[Chorus]
Mission homes and food on wheels
That's the story that my hunger tells
I roll through the rain I roll through the haze
Every plate I pass is a prayer I raise
[Outro]
Mission homes
Keep on rolling
Food on wheels
Keep on going
Mission homes
Keep on rolling
