The headlines scream before we sleep,
Images we never chose to keep.
Too many names, too much loss,
Too many prayers crossed and tossed.
Children learn what fear can do,
While borders rise and hearts split too.
We keep scrolling, numb somehow,
‘Cause it’s hard to breathe in this world right now.
Chorus
This world right now is tired and loud,
Full of questions buried in the crowd.
Between power, money, truth and lies,
We’re losing sight through wounded eyes.
This world right now stands on the edge,
Still holding on to fragile hope we haven’t lost yet.
Verse 2
There are wars with no one winning,
Only grief that keeps on spinning.
Words are weapons, truth is bent,
Hate goes viral, consequence-free sent.
We talk of freedom, rights, and peace,
But turn away when others bleed.
The earth is crying, soft and slow,
And we pretend we’ve got time to grow.
Chorus
This world right now is out of place,
Too much “me,” not enough “us” in our face.
Fear and anger cloud the view,
Of what connects me, him, and you.
This world right now is scarred and torn,
But it’s not beyond the chance to be reborn.
Bridge
Maybe change won’t come in flames or signs,
But in learning to look, not close our eyes.
In choosing words that don’t divide,
In standing closer instead of aside.
Maybe hope is not a shout,
But a quiet “I’m still here.”
A small light in ordinary days
That says this world still matters, dear.
Final Chorus
This world right now doesn’t need perfection,
It needs hearts that choose connection.
It needs compassion over fear,
And love that stays when things aren’t clear.
This world right now will fall or stand,
Depending on the care we put back in our hands.
Outro
And if we ask what we can do
In all this noise, this mess, this doubt—
Maybe just stay human.
That might change this world right now.
