[Intro] Turn the news on Another city crying Another mother praying Another child asking Is this the world I’m supposed to grow up in? And everybody keeps saying stay strong But maybe the truth is Everybody’s tired [Verse 1] Phones keep glowing in the midnight dark Every screen got another broke heart Somebody’s running from a sky on fire Somebody’s rent just climbed up higher Young boy scrolling trying not to feel AI moving faster than what’s real Daddy got two jobs, still falling behind Mama got faith but she losing her mind [Pre-Chorus] How do we heal when the wound stays open? How do we pray when the system feels broken? How do we dream when the bills keep calling? How do we stand when the whole world’s falling? [Chorus] Everybody’s tired, but nobody’s done Everybody’s hurting, but we still need love Everybody’s shouting, but nobody hears Everybody’s drowning in the same old fear Put your hands up, if you still got soul Put your hands up, if you won’t let go We don’t need more war We need more us Everybody’s tired But we still need love [Verse 2] They got us fighting over left and right While the rich get richer in the same daylight Kids in classrooms scared to speak Teachers worn down working through the week Grandma says, baby, I seen this before Same old pain wearing brand new clothes But this generation got a different sound We don’t want the crown if it burns us down [Pre-Chorus] How many hashtags before we change? How many tears before we say names? How many children gotta lose their peace? Before the grown folks learn to lead? [Chorus] Everybody’s tired, but nobody’s done Everybody’s hurting, but we still need love Everybody’s shouting, but nobody hears Everybody’s drowning in the same old fear Put your hands up, if you still got soul Put your hands up, if you won’t let go We don’t need more war We need more us Everybody’s tired But we still need love [Bridge] No more turning pain into profit No more killing dreams in offices No more children carrying trauma No more silence from the fathers No more thoughts and prayers with no action No more truth split into factions No more people treated like numbers Wake us up before we go under [Final Chorus] Everybody’s tired, but nobody’s done Everybody’s hurting, but we still need love Everybody’s shouting, but nobody hears Everybody’s drowning in the same old fear Put your hands up, if you still got soul Put your hands up, if you won’t let go We don’t need more war We need more us Everybody’s tired But we still need love [Outro] Empty classroom Open hands One more chance For all of us
