## Walking Together: Songs for Solidarity ## [Short Intro] [Instrumental builds slowly, strings enter] [Verse 1] The streets are paved with shadows’ sighs, [Echo]: (sighs… sighs… sighs…) A fleeting hope beneath the skies. [Echo]: (skies… skies… skies…) Each corner whispers tales of pain, [Echo]: (of pain… of pain… of pain…) But silence lingers, cold and plain. [Echo]: (plain… plain… plain…) [Pre-Chorus] Through every step, the echoes stay! But still, the city turns away! [Chorus] Behind the glass, the curtains sway, A shadow passes, cold and grey. The windows see it all, yet they TURN AWAY! The city turns away… [Interlude] The city turns away… [Verse 2] The lights above, they shine so bright, [Echo]: (bright… bright… bright…) Yet never reach the soul of night. [Echo]: (soul of night… night…) A lonely heart beats out of sync, [Echo]: (of sync… of sync… of sync…) Invisible! [Echo]: (invisible…) On the world’s brink. [Echo]: (brink… brink…) [Pre-Chorus] Through every step, the echoes stay! But still, the city turns away! [Chorus] A thousand eyes, but none will stay, Each step I take, they slip away. The faces in the crowd JUST TURN AWAY! The city turns away… [Bridge] The clock keeps time, it ticks in vain, Unnoticed by the falling rain. The whispers fade, the night takes hold, A story left forever untold. [Chorus] The night unfolds in silver rays, The stars grow dim, their light betrays. The moon above looks down, THEN TURNED AWAY! The city turns away… [Outro] The city turns away… [Whispers humming] [Instrumental fades out gently with strings and piano]
