Lyric

Hey

Take a second and just listen to me

I know you are probably staring at a screen right now

Feeling annoyed because something did not load fast enough

Or maybe you are just exhausted from doing the same routine every single day

I get it

I was literally complaining about a delayed delivery ten minutes ago

But let us be completely honest for a minute

Put the phone down and look around your room

You woke up feeling heavy and slow

Thinking you have nowhere good to go

You hate the shirt hanging on your chair

You hate the way you styled your hair

You scroll through menus feeling so bored

Ignoring the treasures you can afford

You buy a plastic cup and throw it away

Just another completely normal day

But let me stop you right there in the street

Look at the rubber shoes on your feet

Stop the clock and step outside your head

Look at the soft pillows on your bed

We trip over the gold on our own floor

Always knocking on a locked wooden door

Are you not breathing easy right now

No sweat of panic on your brow

You have solid walls to keep the winter out

You have a clear voice to whisper or shout

Look at the quiet magic in your hand

You are standing on a peaceful land

Count the rhythm of your beating chest

Tell me honestly you are not blessed

Let us talk about the metal tap in your hall

You turn the handle and the waterfalls

Two billion people walk a dirt road today

Carrying plastic jars miles away

They would trade their lives for your kitchen sink

Just to watch the clear liquid flow and drink

And a billion people wait for the sun to rise

With only the dust in their tired eyes

They do not have a switch on a painted wall

They sit in the absolute dark and wait to fall

Stop the clock and step outside your head

Look at the soft pillows on your bed

We trip over the gold on our own floor

Always knocking on a locked wooden door

Are you not breathing easy right now

No sweat of panic on your brow

You have solid walls to keep the winter out

You have a clear voice to whisper or shout

Look at the quiet magic in your hand

You are standing on a peaceful land

Count the rhythm of your beating chest

Tell me honestly you are not blessed

Seven hundred million stare at an empty plate

Wishing for a crumb before it gets late

While you throw away the crust of your bread

Because the daily news is messing with your head

Eight hundred million cannot read this song

They guess the street signs but get them wrong

Trapped outside the library of the human race

While you have the whole universe in your pocket space

Do not bow your head in a heavy shame

I am not playing a guilt trip game

Your broken heart is allowed to bleed

Your quiet sadness is a valid seed

But I want to hand you a different lens

To see where the actual tragedy ends

You won the ultimate lottery prize

Just by opening your beautiful eyes

One hundred million had to run from their town

Watching their brick houses burning down

Packing their lives in a single bag

Sleeping on the ground with a dirty rag

But you have a key to a metal lock

You can safely walk around your block

You have medicine when your throat is sore

You have a ceiling and a wooden floor

These are the miracles we refuse to see

Blind to the ultimate luxury

It is crazy when you really zoom out

We get frustrated when the hot water runs out after twenty minutes

When most of the world would literally call that a miracle

We have supermarkets filled with food from across the ocean

We have a completely safe place to close our eyes tonight

Why do we always focus on what we do not have?

Take a deep breath

You are actually doing more than okay

Are you not breathing easy right now

No sweat of panic on your brow

You have solid walls to keep the winter out

You have a clear voice to whisper or shout

Look at the quiet magic in your hand

You are standing on a peaceful land

Count the rhythm of your beating chest

Tell me honestly you are not blessed

Look at the shoes on your feet

Listen to your own heartbeat

You have water

You have light

You can sleep safely tonight

You are doing completely fine

Walking a beautifully easy line

Drop the heavy bags you hold

You are surrounded by invisible gold

You are happy

You really are
