The Unified Heart (Folk)

folk, melodic, male vocals, heartfelt, acoustic guitar

I only wanted to make a song to unify us all,
But it's such a big task, and I feel so small
Will the words spark hope when they reach your ears?
Will it just exacerbate and amplify your fears?
If these words ever find a way to escape my throat,
Will you even hear the message before I start to choke?

You and I look different, think different, we're not the same,
But we all deserve better than to be pawns in someone else's game
We bleed the same blood, we breathe the same air,
Relearn how to love other people on this planet we share

So let the rhythm be the heartbeat, let the melody be breath,
Life is too damn short to spend it flirting with our death
Break the cycle, break the chain, let the old world fade to gray,
We're the authors of the morning, we’re the masters of the day

They’re pulling on the wires while we’re dancing on the stage,
Keeping us divided, trapped inside a gilded cage
They feed us the distractions while they’re feeding on our souls,
Setting up the borders just to keep us in our roles
But a spark in the dark can turn a shadow to a flame,
And once you see the dealer, man, you’ll never play the game
So let the static shatter and the frequencies align,
'Cause the truth is in the marrow, not the bottom of a sign

It’s a heavy weight to carry, but we’re stronger in the choir,
One voice is just a flicker, but together we’re the fire
No more looking sideways, no more feeding on the glass,
We’re the future of the kingdom, let the shadows of it pass

I’m screaming in a vacuum where the silence is a weight, Trying to find a melody to drown out all the hate, My ink is running dry but my heart is overflowing, I’m planting all these seeds without a way of ever knowing If the garden’s gonna grow or if the frost will take it all, But I’d rather die standing than be silent while we fall I only wanted to make a song to unify us all, But it's such a big task, and I feel so small Will the words spark hope when they reach your ears? Will it just exacerbate and amplify your fears? If these words ever find a way to escape my throat, Will you even hear the message before I start to choke? You and I look different, think different, we're not the same, But we all deserve better than to be pawns in someone else's game We bleed the same blood, we breathe the same air, Relearn how to love other people on this planet we share So let the rhythm be the heartbeat, let the melody be breath, Life is too damn short to spend it flirting with our death Break the cycle, break the chain, let the old world fade to gray, We're the authors of the morning, we’re the masters of the day They’re pulling on the wires while we’re dancing on the stage, Keeping us divided, trapped inside a gilded cage They feed us the distractions while they’re feeding on our souls, Setting up the borders just to keep us in our roles But a spark in the dark can turn a shadow to a flame, And once you see the dealer, man, you’ll never play the game So let the static shatter and the frequencies align, 'Cause the truth is in the marrow, not the bottom of a sign It’s a heavy weight to carry, but we’re stronger in the choir, One voice is just a flicker, but together we’re the fire No more looking sideways, no more feeding on the glass, We’re the future of the kingdom, let the shadows of it pass So let the rhythm be the heartbeat, let the melody be breath, Life is too damn short to spend it flirting with our death Break the cycle, break the chain, let the old world fade to gray, We're the authors of the morning, we’re the masters of the day
