Verse 1 Morning comes at the same speed as yesterday By a broken window we share some bread Far away, another sound adds one more reason without a name We don’t count what we’ve lost Verse 2 The seasons, without warning, unfasten old promises The map keeps getting torn apart still, this is where home remains Leaping over burned-out marks, children learn new games The adults silently lift their heads Pre-Chorus Anger is put away, without a voice Tears no longer ask to be explained Even so, clearly, we clench our fists and don’t turn back Chorus The world is changing even if no one shouts The same weight stays in our chests Politics is changing it can’t be called hope Even so, we stand here — that’s the only choice Verse 3 Words we used to say easily, like “peace,” are far too light now The ordinary days meant to be protected were simply burned first Letting go of the hands that held guns, we continue the ordinary morning That is what our days are now Verse 4 Anger cools and turns into resolve To avoid losing anything, we accept the cost of loss To leave this place standing — that alone will not waver Pre-Chorus 2 (spoken / restrained rap) No slogans No speeches Just staying where we are Sharing the same weight without saying a word Still here still here Chorus The world is changing beyond the numbers Countless days are piling up The world is changing even if time is taken from us the place where we stand we will not hand over Bridge Even if the world isn’t watching even if the record comes late this moment is certainly here Final Chorus The world is changing not by any ideology but by the will to survive itself The air is changing quietly, deeply there’s no going back Outro Tomorrow, too, morning will come So we remain standing
