Human Earth

Woke up counting little ripples

From every word I ever threw

I’ve broken glass and mended pictures

Still I’m reaching out for truth

Some days I glow, some days I crumble

Still there’s a spark that doesn’t run

I close my eyes, breathe in the silence

Hear a million beating as one

If every breath’s a prayer I’m learning

If every step can walk someone home

I’ll hold my anger till it softens

Let my kindness set the tone (hey)

One human heart, under the same sky

Laughing, aching, passing through the same time

We’re already closer than we know

I feel the future in my spine

One human heart, carrying both sides

Bittersweet tears, overflowing bright eyes

I used to feel so small and blind

Now I just want to heal what’s mine (oh-oh)

I’ve drawn my borders in the sand dunes

Named every stranger “not my kind”

But when I listen past the language

It’s the same storm in every mind

So I’ll forgive the younger versions

That only knew the fight or flight

I want to meet my inner shadow

Fold it gently into the light (ooh)

If every scar’s a map to mercy

If every loss can teach me grace

I’ll let the hurt move through my body

Till there is room for someone’s face

One human heart, under the same sky

Laughing, aching, passing through the same time

We’re already closer than we know

I feel the future in my spine

One human heart, carrying both sides

Bittersweet tears, overflowing bright eyes

I used to feel so small and blind

Now I just want to heal what’s mine (hey, hey)

I am the question, I am the answer

I am the distance, I am the dancer

I am the thunder, I am the rain

I am the stranger holding my name

One human heart, under the same sky

Laughing, aching, passing through the same time

We’re already closer than we know

I feel the future in my spine

One human heart, carrying both sides

Bittersweet tears, overflowing bright eyes

If I can learn to sit inside

Maybe the world can breathe in time (one)
