[Verse 1]
Mirrors broken in a thousand eyes,
Reflections lost beneath cold skies
Walls of silence rise so high,
We’ve lost the touch of a gentle sigh

[Pre-Chorus]
Clutching shadows, chasing gold,
Hearts grown distant, growing cold

[Chorus]
Empty hands, hollow hearts,
Forgotten where the kindness starts
Build the walls, watch bridges fall,
Empty hands… hollow hearts,
(Drifting far, drifting far)

[Verse 2]
Bread once shared now crumbs remain,
Echoes of love drowned in the rain
We turn away from pain and fear,
Blind to voices we once held dear

[Pre-Chorus]
Holding tight what slips away,
Fading light of yesterday

[Chorus]
Empty hands, hollow hearts,
Forgotten where the kindness starts
Build the walls, watch bridges fall,
Empty hands… hollow hearts,
(Drifting far, drifting far)

[Bridge]
If rivers run, if seeds still grow,
There’s a place for love to flow
Hands unbound, hearts awake,
It’s never too late to break
