Verse 1 (Soft, mournful)
Born into sorrow, born into flame,
Some wear light, some carry shame.
Painted faces by heaven’s hand,
But every heart breaks the same.
Pre-Chorus
Oh Lord, why must we bleed?
Why must love be chained to greed?
Why do colors blind our eyes,
When You made us to rise?
Chorus (Full choir rises)
We all cry the same tears,
We all fear the same fears,
We all break under the weight of shame —
Whatever our name, whatever our face,
We return to the same dust,
We return to the same grace.

Jelly Roll Solo Verse (Gritty, hurt)
I seen halos on broken men,
I seen monsters wear a preacher’s skin.
Pale hands, dark hands, stained the same —
Ain’t no color in the Devil’s game.
Black wings, white robes, dirt in the seams —
Ain’t no pure when we chasing dreams.
(Organ deepens — darker undertone)

Jacob Banks Solo Verse (Low, thunderous)
I've seen the night in a golden face,
I've seen the sun in a shadowed place.
Good and evil walk side by side,
Don’t matter the shade you hide behind.
Brother, sister, sinner, saint —
All wash away in the same rain.
---
Chorus (Bigger now, with Jelly Roll and Jacob Banks adlibs)
We all cry the same tears,
(Oh, Lord, we all hurt...)
We all fear the same fears,
(Same chains, same dirt...)
We all break under the weight of shame —
Whatever our name, whatever our face,
We return to the same dust,
We return to the same grace.

Bridge (Jacob Banks leads with choir echo)
From the pale sands, from the deep earth,
From the cold snows, from the warm dirt,
You shaped us by hand,
You called us all Man.
Ashes to ashes, soul to soul,
We bleed one story You already know.

Bryce Savage Build-Up (Raw, emotional with heavy guitars)
Bryce Savage:
Worn-out skin, but the blood still burns,
Different doors but the same returns.
We break, we fall, chasing crowns of sand,
But no flag saves a broken man.
(Beat rises — guitars hit)
Bryce Savage (shouting):
If we all fade, if we all fall —
Then why we keep building these walls?!
God made ONE light for us ALL!
Don’t you hear it callin’? — Don’t you hear it callin'?!
---
Morray Ending (Melodic, deep soul)
(Beat switches to trap-soul bounce)
Morray:
We cry, we pray, we break the same way...
(Oh Lord, oh Lord...)
We hurt, we crawl, but we still find faith...
(Still climb, still climb...)
No dark, no pale, no robe too clean —
Same dust, same dreams, same King...
---
Final Chorus (All voices lift together — choir, Jelly, Jacob, Bryce, Morray)
We all cry the same tears,
We all fear the same fears,
We all break under the weight of shame —
Whatever our name, whatever our face,
We return to the same dust,
We return to the same grace.
---
Outro (Soft, whispered)
(Jacob Banks whispers)
Same dust...
(Morray hums)
Same breath...
(Bryce Savage quietly sings)
Same love...
(Jelly Roll raspy whisper)
Same death...
(All whisper together)
Oh Lord... bring us home...
