[Verse 1] O silence in the soul of those still listening O breath within a world too loud to hear Hear my voice, it’s cracked but still unbroken By the knowing: we are both cruel and sincere [Verse 2] We build cathedrals, write our symphonies We touch the stars and call that forward flight But just as quick, we strike down one another And name it justice, purpose, holy right [Pre-Chorus] O human, what are we Without doubt within our chest? Without tears for what we've done When silence feels like rest? [Chorus] Human, do not forget You can burn — or you can heal You can kill — or you can shield You can hate — and still forgive Human, do not forget Every child lost in the dark Is a mirror of your past And who you still could be [Bridge – spoken or whispered] The executioner was once a child The hero once afraid The line 'tween good and evil Isn’t drawn in sand But cuts through every heart [Verse 3] Let me break for someone else's sorrow Let me choose to walk toward light Not perfection, but compassion Not stone, but face and sight [Final Chorus] Human, do not forget You are guilty — and still loved You will stumble — and rise again You may burn — but still forgive Human, do not forget Your voice can crack the silence If you choose to stay gentle When the world cries out for rage [Outro – whispered] O human… Be human… And forget that nevermore.
