Lyrics
Description
(Intro — spoken softly)
There was always violence around us…
The world didn’t suddenly become violent.
And maybe…
Maybe it’s not becoming more violent at all.
[Verse 1]
Every generation thinks the sky is falling,
Every headline screams the end is near,
But centuries ago the streets ran darker,
And cruelty walked proudly without a tear.
Now eyes pause on the bruised and broken,
Now children ask why fists still raise,
Now hearts crack open wide for oceans,
For birds and forests lost in fading haze.
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter what the headlines try to say,
Listen close, the truth will sway…
[Chorus]
The world is softer than yesterday,
Though noise and hate still crowd the grey,
We learned compassion slow and strange,
Across a thousand years of change.
Hands once clenched in battles gone,
Now reach out to mend the dawn,
And every voice that breaks the silence,
Brings us closer to alliance.
[Verse 2]
People weep for rivers choking,
For fish tangled in plastic strands,
For insects crushed beneath careless steps,
For forests burned by greedy hands.
That spark of empathy's been burning,
A fragile light that climbs and sways,
A wildfire in the quiet darkness,
That gathers strength with each new day.
[Bridge — spoken with emotion]
It didn’t happen overnight.
It took thousands of years to evolve…
And thousands more
To become compassionate
To everything living
In and around us.
[Final Chorus — bigger, cinematic]
The world is softer than yesterday,
Though shadows still stretch wide and long,
We're learning to see ourselves whole
Inside the pain where others belong.
Maybe that’s the true awakening,
Not power's roar, not fleeting fame…
But the moment a human heart
Feels every life in the same flame.
[Outro]
There was always violence around us…
But there is also kindness now
That history had never known before.
