Two Worlds Apart
[Verse 1]
Born to the sound of sirens and fire,
His lullabies are bombs in a choir.
Hides underground when the sky turns red,
Dreams of sunlight but wakes in dread.
Ten years old, but his eyes look old,
A childhood traded for fear untold.
He’s never seen a clear blue sky,
Just counting days he might survive.
[Verse 2]
Across the sea, a boy the same age,
His world is gold, no locked-up cage.
Cakes and candles, a birthday song,
While servants carry his life along.
No hunger aches, no fear of night,
He sleeps in peace under gentle light.
Ten years old, but the contrast stings —
One boy has nothing, the other, everything.
[Chorus]
Two worlds apart, same beating hearts,
One’s torn away before he starts.
We’re told we’re born equal, but it’s a lie,
One child lives, while the other one dies.
We can’t erase the scars of war,
But we can’t close our eyes anymore.
Let’s hope for a world that’s true and fair,
Where every child grows old somewhere.
[Verse 3]
As the candles glow in a mansion bright,
Another boy is buried that night.
One is cheered, the other’s erased,
Two different fates, one human race.
Life’s unfair, and it cuts so deep,
How do we look away, how do we sleep?
If justice hides, if truth is blind,
Then peace begins in our own minds.
[Chorus]
Two worlds apart, same beating hearts,
One’s torn away before he starts.
We’re told we’re born equal, but it’s a lie,
One child lives, while the other one dies.
We can’t erase the scars of war,
But we can’t close our eyes anymore.
Let’s hope for a world that’s true and fair,
Where every child grows old somewhere.
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll choose to see,
That their pain is ours, their fight is me.
No border, no money, no flag in the sand,
Can change the truth — we all hold the same hands.
[Final Chorus]
Two worlds apart, but we’re not blind,
It’s time to rise, it’s time to find.
The hope, the love, the fight we need,
To plant tomorrow like a seed.
No, we can’t undo what’s already done,
But every voice can be more than one.
So let’s dream of a world that’s true and fair,
Where every child grows old somewhere.
[Outro]
Two worlds apart…
But one tomorrow.
