Just a little time upon the screen And suddenly the world gets in A thousand sorrows, a thousand fires Pulling at the heart and mind I feel the weight beneath the noise The fear that drowns the quieter voice So I step back and breathe again Remember who I am within I won't let the noise become my truth I won't let the dark erase the blue There's something sacred I must keep A little faith beneath the deep I'll stay human, I'll stay kind Keep a little light inside When the world forgets to feel I'll hold on to what is real I'll guard my faith against the tide Keep my heart open, keep my eyes wide Let the whole world lose its way I won't let my soul decay Some can't bear the quiet room So they feed the endless moving news Another image, one more need Another thing to make them feel But I don't need to take it all I don't have to answer every call There is a world beyond the screen And there's a life still growing here I won't let the noise become my truth I won't let the dark erase the blue There's something sacred I must keep A little faith beneath the deep I'll stay human, I'll stay kind Keep a little light inside When the world forgets to feel I'll hold on to what is real I'll guard my faith against the tide Keep my heart open, keep my eyes wide Let the whole world lose its way I won't let my soul decay I don't have to hate the world To protect the things I love I can turn away from cruelty Without turning cold enough And if the night goes on forever If the noise consumes the sky I'll keep one promise to myself I won't let my humanity die I'll stay human, I'll stay kind Keep a little light inside When the world forgets to feel I'll hold on to what is real I'll guard my faith against the tide Even when the stars hide Till my final breath of air I'll keep a little mercy there I'll stay human I'll stay human Through it all I'll stay human
