The Passion of Peace

Why… Why… ⸻ [Verse 1] Why is anger easier to hold Than the breaking of the heart? Why does fire feel like power While sorrow pulls apart? Why does war ignite the blood With banners in the sky? While peace moves soft and silent And asks us to lay pride aside? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – building tension] Do we fear the quiet truth? Do we fear the stillness deep? Do we choose the flame of fury So we never have to weep? ⸻ [Chorus – soaring, melodic] What if we entered the ritual of grieving? What if we dared to feel what we hide? What if the passion of peace were a fire Stronger than anger inside? What if we opened our hands to the plenty Waiting beyond what we know? What if the wisdom of not knowing Is where we finally grow? ⸻ [Verse 2 – rhythmic shift, stronger drive] Why is lack a faithful shadow Whispering, “You’re incomplete”? Why is suffering familiar Like worn-out shoes on tired feet? Why does risk stand at the doorway Like a stranger we resist? While comfort keeps us circling In the ache we can’t dismiss? ⸻ [Bridge – softer, reflective, gradual build] What if grief is not a weakness But a gate we’ve never crossed? What if peace is not surrender But the healing of what’s lost? What if plenty is awareness Of the breath we’re breathing now? What if wisdom lives in questions More than answers we allow? ⸻ [Final Chorus – expanded, powerful] Let us enter the ritual of grieving Let us burn with the passion of peace Let us open to all that is given Let the war within us cease Let us stand on the edge of the unknown Where courage and mystery meet For the wisdom of not knowing Makes the broken whole and complete ⸻ [Outro – returning to atmospheric theme] Why… What if… What if… What if we explore the ritual of grieving the passion of peace the awareness of plenty the wisdom of not knowing What if... What if…
