remain calm

I’ve lost some people I still talk to in my sleep  
I’ve seen good hearts fall too deep  
To bottles, pills, and silent cries  
While the world just scrolls and buys  

TV’s loud, but truth is quiet  
We numb the pain, then wonder why it  
Still comes back in waves and fire  
While kindness fades and hate grows higher  


But it’s clearer now — what matters most  
Not the likes, not the brand, not the boast  
It’s the hug you give, the hand you lend  
The way you show up for a friend  
It’s clearer now — what we must choose  
To build, to heal, not just to lose  
We’ve been asleep, but we’re waking somehow  
It’s clearer now  


We chase the want, forget the need  
Trade soul for speed, love for greed  
We judge by skin, by clothes, by name  
Then wonder why we feel the shame  

But I’ve seen neighbors turn to kin  
When storms roll in and walls wear thin  
And I believe we still can change  
If we stop pointing, start exchanging  


Grief don’t mean you stop the song  
It means you sing to carry on  
And healing ain’t a perfect line  
It’s falling down and choosing kind  


It’s clearer now — what we must be  
Not perfect, just awake and free  
To love without the fear of loss  
To carry hope, to bear the cross  
It’s clearer now — what we must do  
To see the world in me and you  
We’ve been divided, but we know how  
To come back home — it’s clearer now
