[Verse 1]:

Gotta help myself before I can help others

Too caught up in life to even care about others

I’m busy, making sure I can help out my parents

Too tired to read the news when I got problems forget it

I'd rather, focus my energy, do what I love

Cause lately I dont know who's real, I don’t know who to trust

I wanna believe in the greater good of a person

But from what I been hearing it might be the devil whos working

I’m often juggling so much can hardly deal with the rest

And when I try to help my own self takes the best

Of me and find myself, back at home trying to cope

My anxiety keeps on turning my highs to a low

And thats when I hurt other even tho I dont mean to

Try to put it behind me no looking back in my rear view

No, I need to face it, recognize my mistakes

Voices sayin turn it around its never too late

And trust me I’m trying I won’t let the bad win the good

But I’m caught up in the greed, lit screens when I should

Find peace and take moment to breathe

Only then I can release these words when I speak

[Verse 2]:

The world I’m living is much bigger than me

Learning a lot about people when I listen in deep

To their pain, a power that can bring us together

Closed off before but everyday doing much better

And if your listening hope you take this with you

Don’t ever think you alone, know I’m right there with you

Cause you were there for me, here with me now

If it comes from within the people will hear me out

And if this what makes me happy then what do I care about

I got all that I need but most importantly Im proud

And whether I’m speaking to a few of you or a crowd

Ima live in the moment I got to be here now

Cause half the time I’m not am I losing control?

Lord help me see things differently than before

Because, it's easier to judge than to listen to you

Easy to say why for problems that been given to you

Much easier to point the finger and blame others

Much harder to recognize that were all brothers

And sisters, take a moment to breathe

Only then can we release these words when we speak

[Outro]:

At the end of the day we are all human beings with emotions, no different from each other. We all have dreams, we all feel pain. That is why we must continue fight for those who are not heard, and tear down walls that have been put in place to divide us. Though we may share different cultures, religions and backgrounds, we are very much similar. We have much more in common. Sometimes hearing people’s stories can help us broaden our perspective, allowing us empathize with one another. I know the world moves so fast and it’s so exhausting, but we can all make an impact and truly truly make things better
