When The Sirens Fell Silent

[Verse 1]
Morning feels different today
Windows open
Nothing to fear
Flag on the porch just hangs and sways
Children laugh a little louder out here
[Chorus]
When the sirens fell silent
Every heartbeat sounded clear
We laid our anger in the ground
And let the quiet draw us near
All the borders started fading
Like old lines in the sand
Now the whole world breathes in rhythm
Holding out the same warm hand
[Verse 2]
News plays a slow
Gentle scroll
Just birthdays
Rain
And scorelines
Soldiers plant trees in their coats
Trading their boots for worn-out sidelines
[Chorus]
When the sirens fell silent
Every heartbeat sounded clear
We laid our anger in the ground
And let the quiet draw us near
All the borders started fading
Like old lines in the sand
Now the whole world breathes in rhythm
Holding out the same warm hand
[Bridge]
We were so sure that it was too late (too late)
Now we walk streets we helped reshape
Strangers sharing stories on the same long table
Passing bread like passing grace (oh)
[Chorus]
When the sirens fell silent
Every heartbeat sounded clear
We laid our anger in the ground
And let the quiet draw us near
All the borders started fading
Like old lines in the sand
Now the whole world sings together
Holding out the same warm hand
