Lyrics

They weren't born in the darkness, it crept in with the years
Carried in whispers, in silence, in tears
Homes without shelter, love too far away
Turning bright young hearts into clouds of gray

Behind their eyes, there's a story untold
A childhood of winters without any warm to hold
Before you judge, try to understand
The weight they've carried since they first could stand

Science shows the pieces come from many hands
A mix of coded genes and shifting sands
The world can wound before we even speak
And scars run deep in the quiet and meek

It's not just in the blood, it's in the air we breathe
In the walls that fail to keep us safe
In the hands that should protect but sometimes leave
These are not monsters, they're the wounded brave

Behind their eyes, there's a story untold
A childhood of winters without any warm to hold
Before you judge, try to understand
The weight they've carried since they first could stand

Every soul can heal with a little light and time
Empathy's a bridge, not a crime
Stand with the ones the world leaves behind
