Resistance for Peace

Opening – Subtle

I sing the prismed mind’s expanse,

Unfolding doors, unbreaking hush, unearthing what enchants.

I sing,

I sing.

Chorus

We carve new roads from fractured stone—urgency woven in verse,

Geopolitical, yet intimate, the human weight immersed.

We name the love that lifts, the rage that warns, the cry that shakes,

Embrace the fear that shapes our path, through wounds the dawn awakes.

We clash, we weave, we rise, ignite—sovereignty of souls alight.

Rising Intensity

I do not stand on either side, nor choose a line drawn thin.

I claim the vast complexity, the dignity within.

Bridge

When power breeds injustice,

Silence feeds the flame.

When hatred calls, neutrality maims.

And when the iron grip of fascism tightens,

We hold one vow: resist.

With presence, with purpose, with truth held fierce in our midst.

Chorus

We carve new roads from fractured stone

—urgent, poetic fire,

Political, philosophical, ethical—truth ascending higher.

Verse

Inner resistance—

To resist is to feel, to rise and expand,

To dream, to unmake,

To fracture, rebuild with a steadier hand.

Chorus

We carve new roads from shifting sands—our voices interlace,

A spectrum of perspectives wide, an empathy embraced.

To love unchained, to dare the loss, to wander without claim,

To stand in doubt, yet step ahead, in fragile, endless flame.

So human, all too human, we crash, we bloom, we ache,

We roar, we hush, dissolve, rebirth—a cycle we remake.

To love unchained, to dare the loss, to wander and to know,

To stretch beyond what cages us, to yield and yet to grow.

So human, so deeply human, we act, we break, we yearn,

We falter, rise, unravel, burn, and from the embers, learn.

Chorus

We carve new roads from shifting sands—our voices interlace,

A spectrum of perspectives wide, an empathy embraced.

To love unchained, to dare the loss, to wander without claim,

To stand in doubt, yet step ahead, in fragile, endless flame.

Chorus

We carve new roads from shifting sands—our voices interlace,

A spectrum of perspectives wide, an empathy embraced.
