[VERSE 1] (Introductory and Soulful)
Em
I remember when the wind had voices,
Cmaj7
And every leaf was an ear,
G
When the sun would rise in harmony,
D
And rivers whispered near.
Em
We were thousands, standing tall,
Cmaj7
A cathedral of green breath,
G
Praying to the light that guided us,
D
Rooted in the rain’s caress.
[PRE-CHORUS] (Building Emotion)
Cmaj7
But you came with fire in your hands,
G
Calling it progress, and we tried to understand.
Em
You carved us down, wrote your poems,
D
But still, we gave and gave again.
Cmaj7
Now I see the cities grow,
G
But the skies turn grey, and the winds don’t blow.
Em
Yet I hold no hate for you,
D
I’ve seen your heart and how it beats true.
[CHORUS] (Majestic, Soulful)
Em
I have watched your children cry,
Cmaj7
I have seen you rise to fight.
G
But remember, you still hold the seed,
D
To plant the dreams you truly need.
Em
So listen to the wind’s call,
Cmaj7
The earth is waiting after all.
G
Water your heart and grow again,
D
The trees will teach you to begin.
[VERSE 2] (Gentle, Heartfelt)
Em
Beneath your metal flowers’ glow,
Cmaj7
We gave you roots beneath the stone.
G
You built your worlds, but we still stand,
D
With whispers only the heart understands.
Em
I’ve watched the silence claim the sky,
Cmaj7
But I know the wings will fly,
G
For in your bones, the truth is sown—
D
You’ve not forgotten how to grow.
[BRIDGE] (Sacred, Rebuilding)
Cmaj7
Bury your machines,
G
Water your dreams,
Em
Speak to the wind,
D
And listen to its hymn.
Cmaj7
Place your ear upon the bark,
G
Wait for the answer in the dark,
Em
I’ll speak to you in roots and rain,
D
As we rise from dust, again.
[CHORUS] (Epic, Powerful)
Em
I have watched your children cry,
Cmaj7
I have seen you rise to fight.
G
But remember, you still hold the seed,
D
To plant the dreams you truly need.
Em
So listen to the wind’s call,
Cmaj7
The earth is waiting after all.
G
Water your heart and grow again,
D
The trees will teach you to begin.
[OUTRO] (Hopeful, Resonant)
Em
We are not gone, we are becoming,
Cmaj7
A quiet hope, a love still humming.
G
Let this be the start, the start of light,
D
Let this be the end of endless night.
Em
Bury your machines,
Cmaj7
Water your dreams,
G
Speak to the wind,
D
And listen to its hymn.
[FINAL INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO] (Slow, fading piano with orchestral swells)
Sound of wind, distant birds, gentle strings swaying as the song fades.
