[Intro]
We thought we knew it all, believed we were so bright
Turned our backs on stories, shining in their own light
[Verse 1]
Old words whispered softly, wisdom from the past
Didn't listen close enough, thought we knew at last
They’ve been through fire, ice, and storms, seen the world turn and burn
Maybe it’s time we pause, and let their voices return
[Pre-Chorus]
Every piece of advice, a window, a different view
A different truth, a chance to see something new
Humility in knowing, we’re not the end of the line
Honest with ourselves, and with the stories they define
[Chorus]
Stay honest, stay humble, open up your mind
There’s knowledge in the scars, in every mark behind
Respect the journey, honor what came before
In the echoes of their voices, find what you’re looking for
[Verse 2]
We fought for fairness, for equality’s bright song
But sometimes we forget, and we get it wrong
Listening isn’t surrender, it’s the strength to understand
To walk a mile, to hold a hand, to love what others have planned
[Pre-Chorus]
Every piece of advice, a window, a different view
A different truth, a chance to see something new
Humility in knowing, we’re not the end of the line
Honest with ourselves, and with the stories they define
[Chorus]
Stay honest, stay humble, open up your mind
There’s knowledge in the scars, in every mark behind
Respect the journey, honor what came before
In the echoes of their voices, find what you’re looking for
[Bridge]
Not everything is wisdom, but all can teach us more
From their stories, we’re reborn, richer than before
Let’s lower ourselves, take a step back and learn
In every story told, there’s a fire we can burn
[Outro]
Honest at the core, with respect held high
Listening to the elders, with a humble eye
We’re wiser when we admit, we still don’t know it all
In their words, in their call, we stand tall and small
XxX
