What If We Didn’t Listen

Who taught us we're enemies I don't remember learning that Walking streets, same faces, different walls Neighbors hiding, silent calls Headlines scream, hearts go numb We fight for reasons we didn't come from Everyone's right, nobody sees The weight we carry, the need for peace We scroll, we judge, we click, we scroll Forgetting the human inside every soul They say pick a side, hold your ground Fight your battles, don't look around But I still believe, it's not too late We're more than anger, more than hate Who taught us we're enemies Who taught us we're enemies What if we helped each other heal What if kindness was real Yeah Fists in the air, masks on our face Living in fear we didn't embrace We label, we argue, we point, we blame Same pain, new day, nothing's changed I've built walls, I've burned my pride Called it strength just to hide inside Pride's the virus, empathy's the cure If we listen close, love can endure Peace ain't weak, it's a fight inside Love's the weapon they can't divide Who taught us we're enemies Who taught us we're enemies What if we helped each other heal What if kindness was real I learned to share before I learned to fight Same sky over broken nights La da da, hearts collide Same tears falling from different sides What if being kind was brave What if love's the way we save Who taught us we're enemies Who taught us we're enemies What if we helped each other heal What if kindness finally feels real No more right, no more wrong Just human hearts trying to carry on They tried to teach us we don't belong But love's been right here all along No I don't believe that anymore
