Different Roads, Same Fire

Verse 1 You see the sky in a different shade, I read the storm in another way. You build your walls out of what you survived, I built mine just to stay alive. We point our fingers, call it truth, But pain wears every kind of suit. Under the anger, under the pride, We’re all just trying not to die inside. Pre-Chorus Maybe your language ain’t the same as mine, Maybe we pray on a different side. But I know that look when the lights go low, That kind of hurt only broken people know. Verse 2 You fell from grace, I fell from hope, Both of us learned how to barely cope. You called it strength, I called it shame, But we were bleeding just the same. Maybe you ran, maybe I froze, Maybe we chose what hurt us most. But every downfall has a door, If we stop turning grief into war. Pre-Chorus Maybe your demons got a different name, Maybe your scars don’t look the same. But I know that silence behind your eyes, The kind that says you’re tired of picking sides. Chorus So meet me at the middle, Where the river cuts the stone. Where the lonely stop pretending They were never alone. We don’t have to see it all the same To understand the flame. Different roads, same fire, Different wounds, same pain. Bridge What if I listened before I judged? What if you softened before you struck? What if the enemy wearing your face Was just another soul begging for grace? We’ve both been hungry, both been lost, Both learned love can come with a cost. So lay your weapons in the dust, There’s still a bridge between us. Final Chorus Meet me at the middle, Where the river cuts the stone. Where the wounded come together And remember they’re not alone. We don’t have to heal the same, We don’t have to share one name. Different roads, same fire, Different wounds, same pain. Outro If you reach across the silence, I’ll reach through the rain. Different roads, same fire, Different wounds, same pain.
