Still here
+
Still caring
+
Even when it hurts
+
I watch the screen, another headline fades
+
Another child gone, another city razed
+
Twenty soldiers fall, the nation weeps and prays
+
Fifty thousand bleed on the Eastern Front - silence stays
+
We cry for the price at the pump, we rage at the bill
+
But graves fill quietly - no outrage, no will
+
I feel it in my chest, this weight that won't lift
+
Caring for strangers when the world just shifts
+
It would be easier to turn away
+
To scroll past the pain, to call it another day
+
But something inside refuses to let go
+
Even when the caring cuts deep and slow
+
Still here, still here, through the ache and the cost
+
Caring for lives that the world has lost
+
Tanks full, graves full, empathy empty
+
But my heart keeps beating - it won't let me be free
+
Still here, still here, even when it breaks
+
Because someone must feel it, for everyone's sake
+
(for everyone's sake)
+
For everyone's sake
+
I see the palaces gleam, marble and glass
+
While leaky gutters drip in the houses of the mass
+
They promise relief, they promise the win
+
But the money disappears - same old spin
+
I see the children waiting, the dying in line
+
While we queue for gadgets, chasing the shine
+
I see the graves growing, generation by generation
+
And I can't stop the hurting, can't stop the sensations
+
It would be easier to shut it all down
+
To close my eyes, to leave this town
+
But the pain keeps knocking, it won't go away
+
And I keep answering - come what may
+
Still here, still here, through the ache and the cost
+
Caring for lives that the world has lost
+
Tanks full, graves full, empathy empty
+
But my heart keeps beating - it won't let me be free
+
Still here, still here, even when it breaks
+
Because someone must feel it, for everyone's sake
+
For everyone's sake
+
I don't know why it hurts this much
+
Why the faces stay with me, why the pain won't touch
+
The ones who scroll past, who change the channel quick
+
Who keep their tanks full while the graves grow thick
+
I don't know why I can't let go
+
Why the caring stays - why it won't slow
+
But I know if I stop feeling the weight
+
Something in me dies - and that's too late
+
So I stay awake, I stay in the ache
+
Because someone must - for everyone's sake
+
The silence is louder than any headline scream
+
Millions gone - just another bad dream
+
We mourn the price of petrol, the rise in the bill
+
But the graves in the east get no space on the hill
+
I carry the faces, the names, the stud hands
+
The ones, so don't grow up bitter than lands
+
It hurts to keep seeing, it hurts to keep moaning
+
But (And study on me to carry this stone
+
For another one's sake
+
Still here, still here, through the ache and the cost
+
Caring for lives that the world has lost
+
Tanks full, graves full, empathy empty
+
But my heart keeps beating - it won't let me be free
+
Still here, still here, even when it breaks
+
Because someone must feel it
+
For everyone's sake
+
For everyone's sake
+
For everyone's sake
+
For everyone's sake
+
Still here
+
Still caring
+
Even when it hurts
+
It hurts
+
It hurts
+
The silence is louder than any headline scream
+
Millions gone - just another bad dream
+
We mourn the price of petrol, the rise in the bill
+
But the graves in the east get no space on the hill
+
I carry the faces, the names, the small hands
+
The ones who won't grow up in their own lands
+
It hurts to keep seeing, it hurts to keep knowing
+
But stopping would mean the caring is going
+
Still here, still here, through the ache and the cost
+
Caring for lives that the world has lost
+
Tanks full, graves full, empathy empty
+
But my heart keeps beating - it won't let me be free
+
Still here, still here, even when it breaks
+
Because someone must feel it
+
For everyone's sake
+
(For everyone's sake)
+
For everyone's sake
+
Still here
+
(still here...)
+
(still here again...)
+
(still here again...)
+
(still here again...)
+
Even when it hounds
+
Still here
+
(Still)
+
(Still)
+
Still here
+
Still here
+
Still
+
