Listen With Our Hearts

Verse 1 I heard another name fall through the wire, Another mother screaming at the sky. Another candle burning in the silence, Another question asking, “Why?” I feel the rage rise up like thunder, My hands are shaking, chest is tight. How many souls before we wonder If being cruel was never being right? Pre-Chorus I’m not numb, no, I refuse it. I won’t laugh while the world bleeds out. If your heart still beats, then use it. There’s another way somehow. Chorus Let’s end the fun violence, The cheering when somebody breaks. Let’s end the cold silence, When another life gets thrown away. Put down the pride, put down the knives, Put down the need to tear apart. Before we lose another life, Start speaking and listening with our hearts. Verse 2 I’m infuriated by the headlines, Like death became a game to play. People making jokes from someone’s last breath, Then scrolling past the grave. But I still believe in something softer, Even when my anger starts to burn. Maybe mercy is the revolution, Maybe love is what we learn. Pre-Chorus I’m not weak because I’m crying. I’m not lost because I care. If the world is tired of dying, Then we have to meet it there. Chorus Let’s end the fun violence, The cheering when somebody breaks. Let’s end the cold silence, When another life gets thrown away. Put down the pride, put down the knives, Put down the need to tear apart. Before we lose another life, Start speaking and listening with our hearts. Bridge Can we sit down before the sirens? Can we breathe before the rage? Can we stop turning people Into targets on a page? Can we hear the child in someone? Can we see the pain beneath? Can we choose a different ending Before grief is all we leave? Final Chorus Let’s end the fun violence, No more worshiping the pain. Let’s end the cold silence, No more blood treated like fame. Put down the pride, put down the knives, Put down the war inside the dark. Before we lose another life, Start speaking and listening with our hearts. Outro Speak with your heart. Listen with your heart. Before the world falls apart, Come back to your heart.
