Same sky different fires

Look at it…

Two worlds… one sky…

Tell me why it feels so far apart…

⸻

Left side burning, right side blue

One side screaming, one stays cool

City lights flicker through the smoke in the air

While the ocean on the other side gasps for repair

People in the middle with their hands up high

Reaching for something they can’t define

Different lives drawn in the same frame

Different kinds of hurt but the pain look the same

Bills on one side, storms on the other

One fighting hunger, one fighting each other

We built this picture, now we stare in place

Trying not to see what we helped create

⸻

Lines in the sand that we never erase

But we all look up at the very same space

⸻

Same sky above us all

Same rise, same fall

Different fires burning through the night

Different wrongs we try to call “right”

Same sky, different cries

Same truth behind the lies

If we’re living under one sun—

Why we act like we’re not one?

⸻

Gold letters shining on a broken scene

Like hope dressed up in a tragedy

We frame the chaos, make it look like art

But it’s real-life pressure tearing us apart

Phones in our hands but we don’t reach out

Voices inside but we drown them out

Everybody watching but nobody moves

Waiting on change like it’s breaking news

Look closer now—see the faces clear

Every single story got a reason to fear

But the sky don’t split when the world goes wrong

It stays right there like it’s holding us on

⸻

We draw these lines but they fade with time

Under the same horizon line

⸻

Same sky above us all

Same rise, same fall

Different fires lighting up the dark

Different paths but the same lost heart

Same sky, same air

Same weight we all bear

If we’re breathing under one sun—

Tell me why we live undone?

⸻

(soft piano)

What if the fire… don’t have to spread?

What if the fear… don’t live in our heads?

(building)

What if we looked past the lines we drew?

What if the “them”… was really “you”?

⸻

No sides… no lines…

Just people trying to survive

⸻

Same sky above us all

Same rise, same fall

Different fires burning through the night

But we’re the ones who hold the light

Same sky, same truth

Same world, me and you

If we’re living under one sun—

Maybe we can still be one

⸻

Look up…

It was never divided…

Just us.
