[Verse]
Smoke stains the sky like a broken vow
The earth shakes loud but who hears it now
Mothers hold shadows where children once lay
Hope feels so fragile
Slipping away
[Prechorus]
Who counts the hearts that war has bled
Who mends the dreams left torn to shreds
[Chorus]
Lay down the rifles
The rage
The blame
Tear down the borders carved in pain
A world on fire
Let it be
A ceasefire lullaby
Set us free
[Verse 2]
Streets whisper tales of what once was home
Graves grow in silence
Rows upon rows
The wind carries echoes of cries unsaid
The living left haunted by voices of the dead
[Prechorus]
Who counts the tears in the rivers wide
Who plants the seeds where love has died
[Chorus]
Lay down the rifles
The rage
The blame
Tear down the borders carved in pain
A world on fire
Let it be
A ceasefire lullaby
Set us free
