Lyrics
Verse
Hear the world breathing through grief.
This isn’t silence.
This is humanity waiting for an answer.
Verse
Hospital lights hum like unanswered prayers, hands grow cold while hope stares.
Wheelchairs full of brilliance, time running out, geniuses buried while missiles get routed.
We learned how to kill with scientific grace, but not how to save a spine or slow decay.
If knowledge is power, why does power betray?
If love had a budget, why is it always delayed?
Verse
Aging isn’t holy, it’s untreated harm.
Cells are crying for repair in our arms.
If we split atoms, mapped stars, touched space, don’t lie to our faces about healing being out of place.
Chorus
Why can’t we live—live forever right now?
Why every answer gotta be “later somehow”?
No more funerals, no children dressed in black,
no more learning grief before facts.
Why can’t we heal—heal every disease?
Blind eyes open, let the broken leap.
I’m asking the world, every leader, every land—why won’t we choose life while we can?
Verse
Nanotech like angels inside the blood, fixing what war and neglect have done.
Genetics is a language we finally can read, so why are we still afraid to believe?
Twenty-five in the mirror, strength stays true, elders still dancing, pain removed.
If nature bends to will, pressure, and time, why is the human body sentenced to decline?
Chorus
If death was policy dressed up as fate,
then life is rebellion we legislate.
Turn war into cure, bombs into care.
Immortality isn’t ego—it’s responsibility to repair.
Chorus
Why can’t we live—say it loud, every tongue?
No more graves dug young.
From deserts to oceans, from slums to sky,
we end disease or admit we didn’t try.
Why can’t we heal—everyone free, from first breath to eternity?
World, decide what we stand for: death… or life.
Verse
We chose weapons.
We can choose life.
