Where Did Our Hearts Go?

Verse

I remember old men waving from their porches at sunrise,

Women bringing casseroles when someone lost their light.

Kids were raised by every neighbor, not just the folks at home,

And no one ever had to face their darkest days alone.

Verse

But now I see a world that walks right past the broken,

Eyes glued to glowing screens, no time for words unspoken.

And I can’t help but wonder when we traded love for noise,

When we stopped hearing the quiet cries of hurting girls and boys.

Chorus

Where did our hearts go?

When did we get so cold?

We were raised to lift the fallen, not to leave them in the road.

This world is bleeding out, and we’re acting like we don’t know.

If we don’t start loving again…

Where did our hearts go?

Verse

Mama used to say, “Son, every soul you meet is fighting,”

But now folks hide their pain because no one’s really trying.

We judge before we listen, we turn away from tears,

We forgot that kindness is the cure we’ve needed all these years.

Verse

And somewhere across this planet, someone’s praying to be seen,

A stranger begging for a hand, a child caught in between.

And it kills me that we’ve let the world grow selfish, blind, and mean,

When we were taught that love was more than just a passing thing.

Chorus

Where did our hearts go?

When did we get so cold?

We were raised to lift the fallen, not to leave them in the road.

This world is bleeding out, and we’re acting like we don’t know.

If we don’t start loving again…

Where did our hearts go?

Bridge

It shouldn’t take a tragedy to make us finally see,

That every life is precious, every breath a plea.

And if we don’t change our ways, if we don’t start today,

We’ll lose the world we promised we’d protect along the way.

Chorus

Where did our hearts go?

God, we need them now the most.

Let’s remember who we were before compassion became a ghost.

This world is crying out, and it’s time we let love show.

’Cause if we don’t start caring again…

Where did our hearts go?
