[Verse] Everything I touched turned gray Every word I said It just faded away Tried to build a castle with my hands But all I made were shifting sands Every plan I laid It fell apart From the very start I couldn’t chart A path that leads to something real A bridge that stays Not one that peels And I wondered why All those nights Where I stood beneath those dim street lights Thinking if I tried Gave my all Why the shadows still held my fall [Verse 2] I went the extra mile each day But every smile seemed to sway On the edge of doubt On the brink of tears Years went by Haunted by fears Painted dreams with my own ink But the colors bled Made me sink In a palette of hopes and broken lines Where the sun refused to shine Life’s a puzzle missing pieces A lover’s song with no releases An echo in an empty room A wilted rose that never bloomed [Chorus & Outro] We need love and care Not more wars to share By the river of change Life can be, so strange
