Lyrics

We woke up to a different day
The sky felt closer, words fell away
Sirens louder than our prayers
Too much truth we weren’t prepared
We built our lives on fragile ground
Thought we were safe, but look around
We were not ready
Not ready for the fall
Not ready for the silence
After losing it all
The storms, the fire
The hate in the streets
We were not ready
For the world we’d meet
Hands that hurt instead of heal
Smiles that hide what’s truly real
Too many lines we shouldn’t cross
Too many wins that feel like loss
We trusted things we couldn’t see
Now fear is part of reality
We were not ready
Not ready for the pain
Not ready for the darkness
Calling out our names
The floods, the lies
The hearts turned cold
We were not ready
For stories told
If I could turn the time around
I’d teach us how to stand our ground
But all we have is now and then
The choice to rise, to try again
We were not ready
But here we stand
With broken plans
And shaking hands
The world is heavy
But we still breathe
Maybe being ready
Starts with believing
We were not ready…
But we’re still here
