Turn The World On Mute

Everybody's talking, but who is

listening? Everybody's running, but what's

everybody missing? Turn the noise down...

Let the truth

speak.

There's a woman on the corner with a sign in her hand

While a billboard sells a dream she can't understand There's a kid

in the classroom with a head full of questions Getting graded on

answers, never taught the direction There's a father working overtime,

missing his son's games Trying to buy a better future while he's

losing yesterday There's a millionaire awake in a house full of rooms

And a lonely little candle fighting darkness in the gloom Everybody wants

the spotlight, nobody thanks the crew Everybody wants the world,

but forgets the people too We put numbers on a screen,

put a price on a name Then wonder why the world doesn't

feel quite the same Turn the world on mute,

let the silence say something We've been chasing every dollar while our

hearts keep running You can own the whole city,

have a key to every door But if you can't love a

soul, tell me what you own it for?

Put the phones down,

let the real world breathe There's a thousand untold stories underneath what

we see We don't need another statue,

we don't need another throne We need people who remember nobody grows

alone

Compassion ain't weakness, it's courage with a pulse It's admitting you were

wrong when your pride says you weren't at fault We got arguments

for days, got forgiveness on delay Keep a record of the wrongs,

let the good things fade away Build a wall around our feelings,

call the wall a defense Then complain about the distance when we

can't get through the fence What's an apology worth if the actions

never change? What's the point of preaching peace if we're addicted to

the rage? History remembers empires that eventually collapsed All the kings who

built their kingdoms, all the crowns that never lasted But the kindness

of a stranger can outlive a hundred years And one sentence spoken

gently can undo a thousand fears Imagine if we listened before deciding

who was wrong Imagine if we helped before asking who belongs Imagine

if forgiveness wasn't mistaken for defeat

Imagine if the greatest ones were those who served the least

I don't want a world where everybody thinks alike I want truth

without the hatred, I want wrongs brought to light I want courage

without cruelty, ambition without greed And a little less attention paid to

everything we don't need Before you chase the fortune,

before you worship the fame Ask yourself if all the winning's worth

forgetting why you came When the music finally stops and the bright

lights disappear Will you leave behind a legacy or just proof that

you were here?

Turn the world on mute,

let the silence say something

We've been chasing every dollar while our hearts keep running

We don't need another statue,

we don't need another throne We need people who remember nobody grows

alone

(nobody grows alone) Maybe the world doesn't need another superstar.

Maybe it needs a million ordinary people Doing extraordinary things when nobody's

watching. Because the loudest voice

isn't always the one that

changes the world...
