The Banker of Chittagong

[Verse 1]
Small paths in the yellow morning sun
Feet are heavy with a struggle never done
A loom needed and a basket of hope
To climb up this jagged mountain slope
Muhammad Yunus sees the spirit in the clay
Where the hungry wait for a brand new day

[Pre-Chorus]
Forty-two cents
Turn into a chance
Beyond the fence
A whole new dance

[Chorus]
Muhammad Yunus your vision is a lifeline
Turning the shadow into a silver design
Not for the mighty but the forgotten ones
Beneath the light of a million moons and suns
Muhammad Yunus
Building a world where everyone belongs
Muhammad Yunus
Righting the system where the logic was wrong

[Verse 2]
The ledger shows no gold for their name
But your Grameen Bank knew their honest frame
Women gathered in a circle of trust
Watching the iron fences turn into dust
Chittagong wind carries a message so bright
Turning the dark of the market into light

[Pre-Chorus]
Simple trust
A hand on the gate
Free from the rust
Changing our fate

[Chorus]
Muhammad Yunus your vision is a lifeline
Turning the shadow into a silver design
Not for the mighty but the forgotten ones
Beneath the light of a million moons and suns
Muhammad Yunus
Building a world where everyone belongs
Muhammad Yunus
Righting the system where the logic was wrong

[Bridge]
Righteousness is more than just a word
It is a song for the voices unheard
A revolution built on a tiny little loan
Seed in the field finally grown

[Chorus]
Muhammad Yunus your vision is a lifeline
Turning the shadow into a silver design
Not for the mighty but the forgotten ones
Beneath the light of a million moons and suns
Muhammad Yunus
Building a world where everyone belongs
Muhammad Yunus
Righting the system where the logic was wrong
