[intro – soft organ + faint choir hum] (Mm…) Yeah… We forget sometimes… That the “I” don’t breathe unless the “we” still livin’. [verse 1 – introspective flow, calm and rhythmic] I seen a man on the corner, eyes cold, same pain as mine, Different story, same design. We build walls outta wounds we hide, But every scar’s just a map of the same inside. You hurt, I hurt — that’s gravity’s truth, Every tear from you still waters my roots. We divided by lines that don’t really exist, But you can’t draw borders on souls like this. [pre-chorus – gospel choir echoes key phrases] (We can only be human…) (Together… together…) [chorus – soaring gospel hook] My heart’s in your hands, your voice in my skin, We break apart, we both lose within. If I rise alone, I still fall short, My grace is yours — that’s the human chord. My humanity’s bound in yours, We can only be human together. [verse 2 – faster, impassioned delivery] Yeah, we the same breath, different lungs, Same sun hittin’ different tongues. Ain’t no “me” without “us,” that’s code, You can’t light a path if the bridge explode. I been blind to the pain that ain’t mine, But it’s still in my shadow, still in my spine. I see truth in the eyes of the people ignored, They carry my hope like a second Lord. [pre-chorus – choir builds intensity] (We can only be human…) (Together… together…) [chorus – repeat with full choir backing] My heart’s in your hands, your voice in my skin, We break apart, we both lose within. If I rise alone, I still fall short, My grace is yours — that’s the human chord. My humanity’s bound in yours, We can only be human together. [bridge – spoken word over faint organ and bass] We learn hate like language, but love is the root. You can’t spell “freedom” without “truth.” If your brother’s in chains, you ain’t free yet, If your sister’s in pain, you ain’t seen it yet. The mirror don’t lie — it reflects us all, And we only rise if we all stand tall. [final chorus – cinematic crescendo, full choir + strings] My heart’s in your hands, your voice in my skin, We break apart, we both lose within. If I rise alone, I still fall short, My grace is yours — that’s the human chord. My humanity’s bound in yours, We can only be human together. [outro – quiet, a cappella choir fading out] (Together… together…) (We can only be human… together…)
