Yeah… Another name whispered in the wind tonight… Too many stories ending before they start… We ain’t built for silence… We ain’t built for grief… So listen close… Our kids falling down before they even grow strong, Who chose to dim their light before life came along? Same tears dropping, same screams in the dark, But nothing ever heals, nothing mends the scars. Air keeps us breathing, and it’s the same for everyone, Hearts beat steady, no matter where you’re from. So why this injustice weighing heavy on our chest? Why a world divided, leaving some with none to rest? Our children dying before they ever become men, Who decided their tomorrow would never begin? Wrong place, wrong time — another life stolen, Dreams interrupted, futures left frozen. Humanity sinking, is this all we’ve become? A battlefield where innocence gets undone? I say no — we ain’t shackled to fate, I say no — nothing’s written on a slate, I say no — the river’s edge don’t define our grace, We breathe the same air, we share the same space. Every heartbeat sounds the same in the dark, Every soul born with a fire, a spark. So who are they to choose which life gets marked, And who gets left behind with a permanent scar? Our kids falling down before they even grow strong Who chose to dim their light before life came along? Same tears dropping, same screams in the dark, But nothing ever heals, nothing mends the scars. Air keeps us breathing, and it’s the same for everyone, Hearts beat steady, no matter where you’re from. So why this injustice weighing heavy on our chest? Why a world divided, leaving some with none to rest? Who will rise and balance out all these wrongs? Who’ll light the path where the youth belong? Where shadows fade and hope grows strong, Where their voices lifted become tomorrow’s song. But till then, we gotta count on ourselves, Ain’t no destiny written in dust on a shelf. Choice is real — we rise, we rebuild, We rewrite the story they tried to kill.
