Lyrics

Intro

Rain on the window pane,
Still we walk through the flame.

⸻

Verse 1

A child cries beneath the noise,
Another day without a choice.
We dress our wounds in Sunday best,
Then carry silence in our chest.
We dream with ashes in our hands,
Build castles from the shifting sand.

⸻

Chorus

Is this what it means to be alive?
To hurt and still reach for the light?
To love like we might break inside—
Is this what it means to be alive?

⸻

Verse 2

We say the word “together” loud,
But turn our backs into the crowd.
We light a match and pray for peace,
While sowing fear beneath our feet.
But even when we break in two,
I see the better part of you.

⸻

Chorus

Is this what it means to be alive?
To ache and keep our hopes in sight?
To fight with fire in our eyes—
Is this what it means to be alive?

⸻

Bridge

I’ve seen grace in the hands
Of the ones no one defends.
A simple touch can heal,
A whisper can reveal…

⸻

Outro

Rain keeps fallin’ down,
But I still hear the sound—
Of hearts refusing to die.
Is this… what it means to be alive?
