Soul on defense

Tell me: do we hold on tight, or fall out of grace? Two hearts, one home, same echo in the room, Too many thoughts on the same old gloom. Roads in the sky, tears in the dawn, Listen to the story of us holding on. [Verse 1] We laid down roots under skies unclear, Dreams in our hands, bitter longing near, Indeed, “We move straight,” but the road got steep, You chase your tomorrow, I guard what I keep. I fought for us, not trophies or fame, Carried hard days, nights with no name, But when one word flips the whole damn plan, Questions hit heavy where we both stand. I don’t want you winning if I’m what you lose, Don’t want peace only when I stay mute and choose, I want us... as us, not cold strangers passing, Don’t burn the bridges we might still be crossing. [Chorus] Don’t let fear come and throw mud… Rain moves easy when it’s two in one blood, Don’t let the world pick your heart for you, I’m still right here, even when it’s hard to do. If we leave, let it mean something real, Not from old wounds, not from pain we feel, If we stay, let it stand with sense, With a living heart, not a soul on defense. [Verse 2] You heard those voices selling fear for change, I search for calm, you search for pain, Between the screen and the soul there’s smoke, When every face on the road feels broke. Not every loud scream carries the truth, Not every sign from above needs proof, Sometimes evil comes soft with advice, Clean little smile, but the venom ain’t nice. I won’t break your faith, won’t steal your light, But I need to see the person, not just the fight, Let’s talk without fire, without ash in the room, Don’t let outsiders turn love into doom. [Chorus] Don’t let fear come and throw that mud… Rain moves easy when it’s two in one blood, Don’t let the world pick your heart for you, I’m still right here, even when it’s hard to do. If we leave, let it mean something real, Not from old wounds, not from pain we feel, If we stay, let it stand with sense, With a living heart, not a soul on defense. [Verse 3] I miss us laughing like the days were light, No walls stacked high, no endless fight, When country, street, or city didn’t matter, Just hand in hand, same step, same pattern. We can start over, rebuild from the spark, But not with cold voices and souls in the dark, I don’t want big money with sadness in eyes, Don’t want “close” if we’re wounded inside. Let’s choose slow, not inside the storm, Don’t mistake hurt for a voice that’s warm, Let’s be home again, not a verbal case, Put love on the beat, main track, first place. [Chorus] Don’t let fear come and throw that mud… Rain moves easy when it’s two in one blood, Don’t let the world pick your heart for you, I’m still right here, even when it’s hard to do. If we leave, let it mean something real, Not from old wounds, not from pain we feel, If we stay, let it stand with sense, With a living heart, not a soul on defense. [Outro] Not every battle gets won by leaving, Some wounds close when two hearts start breathing. And if there’s still one road to select, Let's not make it a mistake on repeat. Tell me: do we hold on tight, or fall out of grace?
