Give It Back To The Sky
Walber Costa
She walks alone through fields of gray
Where colors slowly drained away
The rivers whisper tired lies
Reflections fade in hollow skies
A photograph of what we knew
Now buried under shades of blue
We traded truth for neon light
And lost the stars that filled the night
We heard the warning in the wind
But turned away again
Give it back to the sky
All the things we denied
Every breath, every flame
Every tear we disguised
Let the oceans revive
Let the silence survive
If we don't even try
We're just watching it die
The forests cry in shattered tones
Echoes carved in broken stone
A million voices left unheard
Drowned beneath a single word
Progress marching without sight
Burning shadows into light
We built a world we can't sustain
Now we're choking on the pain
We drew the line in shifting sand
Now it slips through our hands
Give it back to the sky
All the things we denied
Every breath, every flame
Every tear we disguised
Let the oceans revive
Let the silence survive
If we don't even try
We're just watching it die
We were the keepers of the flame
Now we're just shadows in the smoke
Give it back to the sky
Let the truth come alive
Every scar, every lie
We can no longer hide
Let the earth breathe again
Let it wash all the sin
Or the end that we fear
Is already here
Give it back
Before it's gone
