Common Light

[Intro] Across the map, a whispered spark connects us all A dozen languages, one heart in the call [Verse 1] We rise with morning suns and the same small fears A café laugh, a stormy night, and turning gears From crowded streets to quiet rooms, we learn to see That you and I share hope, and we can heal together, freely [Pre-Chorus] If you listen close, you’ll hear the common beat A lullaby of courage beneath everystreet [Chorus] We are more alike than not, when oceans fall away In every hand that reaches out, a brighter break of day Let mercy be our bridge, and time our steady guide In every corner of the world, we stand side by side [Verse 2] In stories told around the fire, in names we barely say We trace the same constellations, find light in the gray A child’s small wonder, an elder’s patient art The shared dream of tomorrow sews us heart to heart [Pre-Chorus] If you listen close, you’ll hear the common beat A lullaby of courage beneath every street [Chorus] We are more alike than not, when oceans fall away In every hand that reaches out, a brighter break of day Let mercy be our bridge, and time our steady guide In every corner of the world, we stand side by side [Bridge] Here where borders blur, we find what heals the scars A chorus of awake hearts, reaching for the stars [Chorus] We are more alike than not, when oceans fall away In every hand that reaches out, a brighter break of day Let mercy be our bridge, and time our steady guide In every corner of the world, we stand side by side [Outro] May we walk together, in quiet understanding true Through every dawn and dream, we’ll anchor hope in you
