All Human After All

[Verse 1]
Turn on the screen
It’s a war in the comments again
Strangers with stones
Throwing words that they can’t take back
Walk down the street
Eyes glued to the glow in their hands
Step over hurt
Like it’s trash on the side of the road
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of the shouting
Of the pride
Of the poison
Aren’t you tired of pretending
You don’t feel it too?
[Chorus]
Can we remember we are human after all
Every stranger has a heartbeat
Has a fall
Every “nobody” is somebody to someone
We are human
We are human after all
(oh, after all)
[Verse 2]
Kid on the bus
Hides his face in the hood
Plays small
Girls in the hall
Learn to laugh when they’re dying inside
We roll our eyes
Call it “just how the world is now”
But every time
We stay quiet
We’re choosing a side
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of the mocking
Of the jokes that are knives
Aren’t you tired of a world that
Forgets we’re alive?
[Chorus]
Can we remember we are human after all
Every stranger has a heartbeat
Has a fall
Every “nothing” is a story you can’t see
We are human
We are human
You and me
[Bridge]
Look in my face
Not my label
Not my past
Say my name
Like it matters when you ask
If you’re hurting
You’re my kind
You’re my kind
If you’re breathing
You’re my side
You’re my side (hey!)
[Chorus]
Can we remember we are human after all
Every stranger has a heartbeat
Has a fall
Every “nobody” is somebody to someone
We are human
We are human after all
[Outro]
Just a person
Talking to a person
That’s all
We are human after all

Slow-build pop anthem with intimate piano and soft pads under the first verse; male or female vocals right up front, almost conversational. Pre-chorus adds warm bass and brushed drums, then the chorus blooms with big gang-style backing vocals and bright guitars. Second chorus adds subtle choir layers and tom swells for lift; final hook strips back to piano and voice for a vulnerable ending., world
