Empathy Becomes the Fire

I used to turn away from tears, Running blind through all my years. Didn’t mean to shut the door — Just afraid to face it more. Living in a world of mine, Never crossed the fragile line. Every heartbeat passed me by, Lost inside my selfish sky. But when shadows filled my soul, I could feel the heavy toll. Then I saw the truth so clear — Every pain we hold so near. Light the fire — hearts united! Let the dark be burned and brightened! When I felt the weight you carried, Suddenly my world could shine! Hand in hand, we rise together, Breaking through the stormy weather! Can you see the dawn before us? Empathy will draw the line! Smiles that hide a silent wound, Dreams that faded far too soon. Now I know the quiet cry, ’Cause I felt the same inside. Reaching out with open heart, That is where the changes start. Even just a tiny spark Turns a light within the dark. When our feelings coincide, We can turn the painful tide. Light the fire — hearts united! Let the dark be burned and brightened! When I felt the weight you carried, Suddenly my world could shine! Hand in hand, we rise together, Breaking through the stormy weather! Now the future’s glowing higher — Empathy becomes the fire!
