Verse 1 We're losing people, not just names. Another year, the same old pain. Vision Zero fades from sight, then everything goes quiet. At the tail end of a jam, in the city, late at night. When we lose our nerve and heart, we lose the will to fight. Pre-Chorus Why don't we take the force away? Slow it down - let life remain. Chorus Freedom is getting home, freedom is safe inside. Children laughing, doors swung wide. Everybody moving slower, heart before the pushing foot. Fear can turn into trust, and the rush into something good. Verse 2 "Freedom to drive" - but tell me why, if no one here feels safe? Freedom is the road back home to the ones who light our way. We pay for speed with grief and scars, a price that makes no sense. Humanity begins when we choose our steps with gentleness. Pre-Chorus Why don't we take the force away? Slow it down - let life remain. Chorus Freedom is getting home, freedom is safe inside. Children laughing, doors swung wide. Everybody moving slower, heart before the pushing foot. Fear can turn into trust, and the rush into something good. Bridge Songs that keep us wide awake, stories showing where to start. Clear and simple rules we know can speak straight to the heart. Three soft words to hold tonight: I'm coming home alive. Final Chorus Freedom is getting home, freedom is safe inside. Children laughing, doors swung wide. Everybody moving slower, heart before the pushing foot. Fear can turn into trust, and the rush into something good. Outro There is still time. Slow it down, let heart lead on. Wide awake for human life, here and now. We take the force out of the moment, and life is what goes on.
