Beauty in wreckage, beauty in ruin Take what it offers right now Every collapse and fractured foundation Falls apart—what’s left when it’s down? Shout to the neighbors, question authority Call out the damage you see Smoke in the fields and rivers run empty The ground shakes endlessly Sirens are screaming, violence is rising Drowning out songs once sung Prayers turn desperate, voices all trembling When fear finally comes undone “Save me,” you cry out, reaching for something But nothing feels divine Promises bottled, sold like illusions Truth tastes bitter like wine Wake up the children, screens in their hands Glow with a restless demand No help is coming unless we create it Side by side, hand in hand Figures above us, watching in silence So you better move, better hide Eyes in the shadows, cold and unblinking Nowhere to run, nowhere to slide Looking out only for yourself Won’t get you through the storm Find your people, stand as one That’s how a world reforms There’s still a spark in the darkest times Something worth holding on We can rebuild from the broken ground Even when hope feels gone Beauty in wreckage, beauty in ruin That’s how connection begins Take what you’re given, change your perspective And build something stronger again
