Cradles of Tomorrow

[Verse 1] Empty rooms where laughter fades to dust, Clocks keep ticking, but the cradles rust. Cities hum with stories left untold, A thousand faces, young but growing old. [Chorus] Is this the end of the lullaby? A world too weary to wonder why? If we let the embers fade to night, Who will rise to reignite the light? [Verse 2] We work the hours the sun forgets to chase, Debts like shadows in the neon haze. Talk of storms we’ll never outrun— “Why bring fire to a world outdone?” [Bridge] Screens glow brighter than the stars we knew, Dreams get smaller as the years chew through. We’re fragments aching, longing to be whole, But love’s a risk when hope’s a splintered hole. [Chorus] Is this the end of the lullaby? A world too weary to wonder why? If we let the embers fade to night, Who will rise to reignite the light? [Outro] Yet in the cracks where tomorrow breathes, A seed rebels against the concrete seas. Maybe we’re not meant to walk alone— The future’s whispered in a heartbeat’s groan. We’ll plant the echoes where the silence grows, And trust the harvest only time will know.
