[Intro]
Whispers of a playground, now quiet and gray
A small voice echoes where the daylight stays away
[Verse 1]
Little hands hold onto a broken dream, in the dust they play
Footsteps numb with fear, counting stars that fade to gray
Mama's lullaby a memory, tucked beneath a sigh
Innocence taxed by the world, just asking to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could bend the wind, I’d bring you back to shine
If I could heal the tears, I’d draw a safer sky
[Chorus]
We cry in whispers for the ones who never got to grow up,
For the games left unfinished and the songs that never sung:
Hold on, little hearts, you’re seen beyond the thunder’s call,
Your names live in the rain, in every heart that hears your call
[Verse 2]
Empty chairs at a table where the laughter should have been
Photo frames hold goodbye letters written in a quiet scream
Footprints in the rubble trace the roads you could have walked
A chorus of the small and brave, refusing to forget
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could bend the wind, I’d bring you back to shine
If I could heal the tears, I’d draw a safer sky
[Chorus]
We cry in whispers for the ones who never got to grow up,
For the games left unfinished and the songs that never sung:
Hold on, little hearts, you’re seen beyond the thunder’s call,
Your names live in the rain, in every heart that hears your call
[Bridge]
Someday the sun will rise for you, beyond the walls and fear
And if a prayer could soften stone, we’d whisper you back here
[Chorus]
We cry in whispers for the ones who never got to grow up,
For the games left unfinished and the songs that never sung:
Hold on, little hearts, you’re seen beyond the thunder’s call,
Your names live in the rain, in every heart that hears your call
[Outro]
In the quiet, a lullaby returns, for every child that disappeared,
We keep your light alive, through every tear we bear
