January 28Storms, Silences, and the Wires Between Us
Storms, Silences, and the Wires Between Us

Verse 1 — The Winter Storm
A spine of ice ran down the map, the sky turned iron gray,
Airports slept on cots of snow, the runways lost their way.
New York wore a heavy crown it hadn’t felt in years,
In Texas, young hearts slipped beneath a pond and disappeared.
The grids blinked like tired eyes, the cold bit through the bone,
Airlines said they’d never seen a storm cut this close to home.
Sirens, shovels, prayers and salt, a nation held its breath,
And whispered, let the next front pass without another test.

Chorus
Oh, under one wide, restless sky,
We’re counting candles, not the time.
Through war and whiteout, deals and doubt,
We carry one small flame around.
From broken wires to healing hands,
From trading floors to frozen lands,
We fall, we mend, we speak, we try—
Still singing under one wide sky.
Verse 2 — Kharkiv in the Dark
Most of Kharkiv lost its light, the night became a wall,
Apartments cracked, a school went still, a child’s drawing on a hall.
In Kyiv, sacred stones were bruised, a monastery scarred,
In Odesa, windows wept and sirens wrote the stars.
A general called for more to shield the cities from the rain,
Saying what they used to catch is slipping through again.
And somewhere at a table set for talks that never last,
They set another date for hope to try and cut the past.

Chorus
Oh, under one wide, restless sky,
We’re counting candles, not the time.
Through war and whiteout, deals and doubt,
We carry one small flame around.
From broken wires to healing hands,
From trading floors to frozen lands,
We fall, we mend, we speak, we try—
Still singing under one wide sky.
Verse 3 — Capitol Standoff
Down on the Hill the clock ran thin, the doors half open, cold,
They argued over border lines and what the jails should hold.
A leader tried to split the bills, to send the easy through,
But stalemates love a winter storm, and weather stalled it too.
The odds climbed like a barroom bet with no one strong enough
To call it off and keep the lights on ships and planes and trucks.
They said the guards would carry on, the rest might fade to gray,
While headlines circled, waiting for a final yea or nay.

Verse 4 — The Mother of All Deals
Across an ocean, ink ran bright, a handshake broke the seal,
After half a lifetime’s chase they named it mother of all deals.
Tariffs on the heavy steel, on engines, meds, and dyes,
Fell like autumn scales of rust from markets’ watchful eyes.
A port of bankers opened up, the waves of trade grew wide,
Two giants found a common step beneath the changing tides.
With other powers raising walls and tariffs ringing steel,
They wagered on a longer game, and turned the spinning wheel.

Verse 5 — The Healer’s Farewell
In Atlanta morning, quietly, a teacher took his rest,
The man who drew a circle round a flame and quelled a pest.
Ring the bell for ring vaccination, wisdom cut and clean,
He taught the world to chase the spark, not sweep a crowded scene.
From CDC to Carter’s porch, to gates that open wide,
He wore a medal not for shine but lives he pulled from night.
They called him baseball’s greatest name in halls of public health,
He left us maps for ending plagues and ways to measure wealth.

Verse 6 — Circuits and Power
Out on the edge of server farms where deserts meet the grid,
A chipmaker doubled down on dreams the future can’t keep hid.
They’re hunting land and lines and volts, the hardest things to scale,
While racks of humming iron chase a thought across the veil.
A scrappy shop of rented clouds stood up to titan heights,
With GPUs like lanterns lit in code’s unending night.
By decade’s end they aim to stitch a million minds in glass,
Where capital and roadmaps point to where the sparks will land.

Bridge
Snow on the runway, smoke on the nave,
Voices in chambers, brave after brave.
Contracts and wire, memory and code,
A healer’s old compass for a hard, new road.
Final Chorus and Ending
Oh, under one wide, restless sky,
We’re counting candles, not the time.
Through war and whiteout, deals and doubt,
We carry one small flame around.
From broken wires to healing hands,
From trading floors to frozen lands,
We fall, we mend, we speak, we try—
Still singing under one wide sky.
Light it, lift it, pass it on—
Let the storm break, let the dark be gone.
Raise the gates, mend the lines,
Hold the center while the world realigns.
Call the names, sign the seals,
Shield the cities, close the deals,
For the healer, for the child,
For the future running wild—
Keep singing under one wide sky.

Ceasefires, Stormwinds, and Distant Drums

Verse 1 — Gaza
They found Ran Gvili under broken Gaza sky,
The final candle carried home where grieving rivers cry.
Graves were opened, names were spoken, truth pulled into day,
A door to truce swings wider now, and Rafah finds a way.

Between the storm and the ceasefire, we learn to live, we try.
Lift your voice for one another, let the headline be our guide,
Love is the breaking news tonight.
Verse 2 — Winter Storm
A blizzard crossed the country like a ghost that would not tire,
Homes went dark in southern towns, the runways turned to wire.
Snow piled deep on silent streets, the air cut like a knife,
We mourn the lives the cold took back—sleds, plows, thin ice, life.

Verse 3 — Lviv
In Lviv the night was shattered by a name that flies too fast,
A new-born thunder crossing lines that history cannot mask.
A storm of drones and roaring fire, a factory turned to dust,
Leaders called it out as wrong; the blame was fog and thrust.

Verse 6 — EU–Mercosur
After years of table talking, ink met paper, hands were shook,

Still the map redraws its borders in the margins of a chart.

Let the frozen fields start thawing, let the healers stand beside.
From the rubble and the white-out to the banners lifted high,
Love is the breaking news tonight—roll the credits in the sky!

Cold Wires, High Walls, and a Higher Climb

Verse 1 — Ukraine
Night poured fire over Kyiv and Kharkiv,
drones like wasps, missiles like knives in the cold.
A hospital bruised, a maternity ward crying,
the city shivering as the radiators went stone.
They called it barbaric while the desert talks faltered,
Abu Dhabi rooms echoed but never broke ground.
Rare fangs of war flashed in the freezing darkness,
and power lines failed with a thunderless sound.

Chorus
Hold on, hold on, through the wind and the wire,
through the headlines that sting and the smoke of the fire.
When the sky turns hard and the news grows grim,
we find a hand, we light a hymn.
Hold on, hold on, let the night unwind—
we bend, we break, we heal, we climb.
Verse 2 — Winter Storm
A white wall rolled from red rock to pines,
ice on the branches, a roar in the north.
Sirens and salt trucks, grounded planes waiting,
the polar heart of the world tumbling forth.
Porchlights flickered across the Gulf and the valley,
breath turned to glass on a downtown street.
Somewhere in Austin a candle burned lonely,
as the cold took a name no one wanted to speak.

Hold on, hold on, let the night unwind—
we bend, we break, we heal, we climb.
Verse 3 — Capitol Standoff
In the marbled halls they’re counting the ceiling,
arguing midnight while the clock swallows days.
One side says split the border from the ledger,
one side says package it and don’t look away.
A shooting back home turned the floor into flint,
names like Klobuchar, King, and Kaine took a stand.
The House sent a bundle, the Senate drew lines,
and a shutdown shadow crossed the land.

Verse 4 — Vaccine Crossroads
A chart got rewritten in a downtown office,
six small shields moved behind whispered doors.
Rotavirus, flu, hep A and B,
meningitis, RSV—now talk it through more.
Parents and doctors caught between pages,
some states said, we’ll keep the old guide.
Lawyers weighed risk, nurses felt worry,
and public health trembled on the tide.

Verse 5 — Taxes Open
The IRS threw open the window for filings,
a brand-new form with a fresh extra page.
Tips and overtime, the wheels that get you working,
a nod to the elders for the weight of their age.
They called it a beautiful bundle of changes,
car loans counted where they hadn’t before.
The season begins with a click and a question:
will the refund be kinder than the year we wore?

Verse 6 — The Climb
He walked up the wind of Taipei’s high shoulder,
no rope, no net, just grit on the steel.
Postponed for the weather, then live to the world,
he said it was brutal, and all of us could feel.
Higher than any city daredevil before him,
a first in the clouds where the air turns thin,
he found each edge like a promise kept,
and the skyline breathed when he pulled himself in.

Bridge
There’s a hush in the wire and a howl in the weather,
a vote on a razor, a shot in a sleeve.
A ledger of burdens we carry together,
and one quiet climber who teaches belief.
Final Chorus — Exciting Ending
Hold on, hold on—strike a match in the storm,
let the frost on the glass become light being born.
When the world leans hard and the headlines bite,
we reach, we rise, we make our own height.
Hold on, hold on—feel the city-heart chime:
from the rubble and the rime,
from the gridlines and the deadline,
from the flatline to the lifeline—
we bend, we break, we heal—
and we climb, we climb, we climb!

Verse 1 — Historic Winter Storm
From New Mexico to Maine the sky turned iron gray,
States cried out for help, the capital joined the fray.
Forecasters spoke of ice like glass from plains to sea,
Flights vanished from the boards, dark streets in Texas trees.
The Guard rolled out in quiet rows where drifts ignite,
Boston braced for blizzard bands rising through the night.
A pen in Washington granted aid without delay,
And Philly locked the classroom doors against the day.

Hold on, hold on, to the light that isn’t storming—

Verse 2 — Minneapolis, ICE Operations
On Lake Street dawn broke hard, a siren split the cold,
A federal badge, a Venezuelan story told.
Weeks since Renee Nicole Good fell under flashing red,
A legal watcher silenced, a city bowed its head.
A surge of federal agents turned sidewalks into steel,
Shops went dark in protest till the streets could breathe and heal.
Mayor Jacob Frey called chaos, told ICE to go,
Tim Walz named a day for unity to grow.
The Vice President said “absolute immunity,”
But legal minds replied, that isn’t how it’s meant to be.

Verse 3 — Tariffs Threat over Canada–China Deal
North of the border the talk turned sharp and stark,
A blessing became a threat in a single social mark.
Blanket tariffs promised over deals with Beijing’s hand,
Electric cars for crops from coasts and prairie land.
He called Mark Carney “Governor,” reached for an old refrain,
No back door to the market, not through Canada’s plain.
In Davos, middle powers rallied in his speech,
But the flag’s extra star stayed only out of reach.

Verse 4 — Deadly Storms in Afghanistan
High valleys drowned in snow and rain, the roofs gave way,
Roads erased to silence where the cut-off villages lay.
Herds fell, hands dug, the cold bit deeper than the skin,
Scarred by war and bare hills where the forests should have been.
Quakes still hum in eastern stone, they haven’t let it go,
The new year names this crisis vast, the UN says so.
A sweeping call for help goes out to meet the need,
For lives and homes and simple warmth in word and deed.

Verse 5 — China’s Unprecedented Military Purge
In Beijing’s guarded rooms a top brass faced the glare,
Zhang Youxia named in shadows, pulled from gilded chair.
Another chief stood under the same unblinking light,
The closest circle swept away in one unending night.
They called it unprecedented, the high command undone,
An anti-graft crusade that’s felled so many, one by one.
Analysts trace a trembling through the chain of call,
When every voice that knew the code is gone from the hall.

Verse 6 — Greenland Framework with NATO
In Davos snow a different kind of bargain stirred,
A framework sketched with NATO’s chief, short on certain words.
Tariff threats on Europe pocketed for now,
No soldiers set to take an isle, but talks to ask how.
Rare earth dreams beneath the ice, more boots near polar light,
Denmark said not for sale, Nuuk drew a sovereign line bright.
Premier Nielsen marked the boundary no one gets to move,
Even allies blinked in doubt, asking what this deal would prove.

Hold on, hold on, we are bridges in the forming—
Raise your voice above the thunder, let the chorus be the dawning.
So storm to storm we learn the names, and promise what we mean,
From frozen roads to border lines to halls we’ve never seen.
Turn the dial, strike the match, let the backbeat start to climb—
If power shakes the world tonight, our song will shake it in time.

From desert dust to rocky Maine,
Ice like glass on leaning pines,

On a mountain of deals where the snow runs thin,
A framework whispered in Davos wind.
Greenland’s name like a northern flame,

Borders, Storms, and Paper Crowns

Verse 1 — Minneapolis
Blue lights on frozen avenues, the city holds its breath,
The biggest sweep a city’s known, marching step by step.
JD Vance flew in for favors, asking for the state’s right hand,
Subpoenas at the Governor’s door like notes from a metal band.
After Jonathan Ross fired, Renee Good fell where truth was seen,
A citizen with open eyes caught in the space between.
So Minnesota took the agencies to court to say, “enough,”
Protesters met with tear gas clouds, observers called a bluff.

Verse 2 — Gaza
They named a next phase of a truce with talk of laying down the guns,
Of technocrats and rebuilding walls beneath a winter sun.
Ali Shaath at the table, a committee sketched in sand,
But bodies fall though silence’s bell was meant to ring the land.
Aid crawls where hunger’s louder than the thunder of the planes,
With banned hands kept from crossings and a ledger full of stains.
Netanyahu calls it symbols, turns his shoulder to the plan,
Hamas says it’s a small step on a road that barely stands.

Verse 3 — Winter Storm
From gulf-wet pines to granite coasts, the air turns steel and clear,
A polar knife through farmhouse doors, the kind you feel in bones and gears.
Governors raise the warning flags across the ridges, towns, and sand,
Airlines bend their schedules, teachers lock the classroom vans.
Snow stacks high on quiet roofs, the South learns northern names,
Roads glaze over, breath turns smoke, the sky forgets your flame.
You listen for the radio and a furnace’s steady hymn,
While neighbors share a little heat and check on all their kin.

On a mountain built for meetings, Zelenskyy cut the air,
Said Europe feels like maps and myths instead of what it dares.

He’d met with Trump in private halls where whispers shape the day,
Then faced the room and called for steel, for unity, not sway.
Not geography or history but a chorus with a spine,
A continent that answers back, not waiting in a line.

Chorus
And the world keeps turning under heavy skies,
Where borders harden, fortunes bargain, and the cold wind cries.
If peace has a price and the truth is thin as snow,
Then hold my hand, keep your voice, don’t let the daylight go.
Verse 5 — Board of Peace
Then a charter on a glossy stage, a Board of Peace was born,
Meant for Gaza’s shattered streets, now reaching every storm.
A price of entry steep enough to thin the crowded room,
With Rubio, Kushner, Blair, and Banga reading from the groom.
President says it can do almost anything it dreams,
Some capitals sign on at once, from deserts and from streams:
From Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan’s banks, the Gulf and islands, too,
Indonesia, Turkey, Saudi sands, and Qatar’s avenues.
Some hear a rival to the house where blue flags used to lead,
Some call it hope, some call it reach, some call it one more creed.

If peace has a price and the truth is thin as snow,

Verse 6 — Greenland and Tariffs
A framework over Arctic maps, a handshake in the glare,
With NATO’s Mark Rutte in the wings and markets gulping air.
Tariffs holstered for the moment, allies breathe and wait,
Europe warned of breaking glass, of fractures in the slate.
The purchase talk of icy lands drifts somewhere out at sea,
Details murky as the fog that rides a winter lea.
For now the threat steps back a pace, the floorboards stop their shake,
But questions circle like the crows along a frozen lake.

Final Chorus — Exciting Ending
Yeah, the world keeps turning under heavy skies,
Where borders harden, fortunes bargain, and the cold wind cries.
But the choir grows louder than the sirens’ glow,
We’re the hands that steady and the seeds that grow.
If peace has a price and the truth is thin as snow,
We’ll flood the streets with daylight till the shadows go,
Hold the line, raise your light, let the wild winds blow—
We’re the storm that breaks the storm, and the world will know.

Verse 1
In Davos under winter glass, he said no guns for Greenland’s coast,
He wants the handshake, not the hulls, to bargain with the Danish host.
With NATO’s chair he drew a line, a framework sketched in Arctic light,
He shelved the tariffs aimed at friends, but kept his jaw set for the fight.
A northern wind from Canada warned, it’s rupture, not a gentle bend,
The stage lights blinked, the world leaned in, to see what breaks and what might mend.

Between the treaty and the claw,
Hold on to one another now—
We’ll be the promise in the vow.
Verse 2
From Tehran came a warning shot, a vow to answer blow for blow,
A foreign minister’s hard eyes set against a change they won’t allow.
A call for new and different hands stirred ghosts along the city squares,
The streets went dark, the voices dimmed, the net went quiet under stares.
The state stood up, the people bled, the summer war still in their bones,
And somewhere in the static hiss, the truth keeps cracking through the drones.

Verse 3
Wall Street took a breath again, the tide reversed its heavy pull,
After rumors, rants, and Greenland maps, the screens turned greener, almost full.
They’d named a selloff after home, then cheered a turn on winter’s stage,
The benchmark found its feet at last, while oil crowned a higher page.
The little ships outsailed the rest, the year stepped back across the line,
And traders watched the Arctic talk like weather watching for a sign.

A dry wind whipped the copper hills, the sky a kiln of broken glass,
The president spoke catastrophe; the people held and let it pass.

A winter engine starts to churn from mesas to the ocean’s lip,

Behind it comes the iron cold, the kind that freezes what it finds,
We stack up candles, charge the phones, and memorize our neighbor’s lines.

They spoke of building Gaza back, but ink forgot to name the street,
And whispers said a club for kings would try to outshine Turtle Bay’s seat.

Let lanterns line the runway night, let doors stay open, never barred,

We are more than breaking news—
We are the hands that build the door.

Flags on Ice, Streets on Fire

Verse 1
In Minneapolis, a poet’s name becomes a prayer.
Renee Good, a mother, lost to an ICE agent’s glare.
Days later, another federal spark lights the sky,
Crowds pour out, asking who, and asking why.
A judge draws a line, and Justice pushes back,
Grand jury knocks on the Governor’s and Mayor’s tracks.
Soldiers stand by up north, the Guard waits at home,
A Day of Truth and Freedom says don’t work, don’t roam.
The vice president’s coming, talk of old powers fades—
Keep drums steady as the city holds the stage.

Chorus
Flags on ice and streets on fire,
All our wires hum with choir.
Markets shake and voices rise,
Truth and freedom in our eyes—
Hold the line through the storm,
We are more than headlines, we are warm.
Verse 2
Across the ice, a machine paints a flag in a dream,
He says the island should be ours or there’s a tariffed stream.
At Davos, he ties it to a prize he never held,
Europe answers: respect the sovereignty you’ve belled.
Retaliation gathers in a counter-marching band,
Brussels reaches for a new anti-coercion hand.

Verse 3
Back home the tickers buckle, worst since autumn’s sigh,
Fear climbs the ladder while the brightest names slide by.
Gold glows, silver sings, safe harbors start to swell,
A Danish fund steps back from Treasurys as they fell.
A mountain of value slips into a restless sea—
Some call it Selling America, some call it a plea.

He lifts a glass, vows to levy on the French vine,
When Macron says no to his Board of Peace design.
Screens flash quiet texts, Greenland questioned bare,

Invites drift to Ankara and Brasília, too,
Critics say it sidelines the UN’s view.

Is peace a table, or a private corridor?

In Davos, the mountain halls call for dialogue’s art,
A record crowd of suits and states tries to chart a start.
He brings a team and vows to make home costs bend,
Bar the biggest landlords from buying up the end.
Have federal hands buy mortgages to ease the road,
But the ice-bound island steals the headline load.

Mozambique’s president stays where the floods run.

Truth and freedom in our eyes—
Hold the line through the storm,
We are more than headlines, we are warm.
Sing it loud: no work, no school, no shopping today,
Let the gas clear out, let the boardrooms make way.
Let Greenland be Greenland, let poets live long,
Let justice walk forward and carry this song.
Bang the drum, ring the iron bell—
Tell the traders, the generals, the ones who sell:
We choose each other over tariffs and fear,
Day of Truth and Freedom is already here.

Under One Sky: Protests, Tariffs, and Testimony

Verse 1
In Minneapolis the candles meet the cold,
a name on a sign, Renee Good, we’re told.
Sirens hold their breath while troops wait in the wings,
the Guard stands ready but the street still sings.
A judge said no to cuffs on peaceful hands,
no gas on the crowd in the winter stands.
But appeals rise up like smoke in the light,
a church was stormed, and the law asks why.
There’s talk of old acts no one wants to say,
last resort shadows on a restless day.

Chorus
Under one sky, we’re tangled in the wire,
headlines like thunder, hearts like fire.
If we can keep the talk alive,
maybe the storm will let us drive.
Hold fast, lean in, let truth be tried—
we rise or fall under one sky.
Verse 2
Across the ocean, tariffs draw a line,
over ice and rock where the glaciers shine.
A bid for a land that won’t be sold,
wrapped in a missile’s shining dome.
Allies answer with a steady flame,
standing with Greenland, calling the game.
Brussels gathers, voices braid as one,
most who live there want the deal undone,
and here at home the appetite runs thin—
a bargain the wind won’t carry in.

Verse 3
In London’s stone halls the gavel’s clear,
Harry walks in with a lion’s ear.
Not alone in the light, friends by his side,
they say the walls had hidden eyes.
Bugs in the rooms, hacks in the night,
files laid open for a price.
The paper swears the claims are lies,
the case will run, he’ll testify.
He’s carried wins and settled scars,
but family’s north beneath other stars.

Verse 4
The sun threw a fist and the magnet sang,
green rivers over fields where no lights hang.
Phones go quiet, the compass sways,
power hums in uncertain ways.
One of the fiercest in a long, bright run,
a storm-washed chapter from a restless sun.
Yet strangers on porches, faces upturned,
read the sky like a prayer well-learned.

Davos lifts a glass to a threaded theme,
a spirit of talk in a fractured dream.
Leaders, makers, dealmakers too,
with a stage set wide for an anxious view.
They weigh the weight of code and clay,

A risk report hums a single note—
the fault lines run where markets float.
The founder’s gone, new hands steer,
names in the chair for a thinning year.

Deals cooled fury but left the strain,
uncertainty tapping the windowpane.

that this is not a usual walk.
The charts breathe shallow, then breathe deep—
we count our courage more than sleep.

Under one sky, we’re tangled in the wire,
headlines like thunder, hearts like fire.
If we can keep the talk alive,

Raise your voice, let justice cry,

Hold fast, lean in, make wrongs run dry—

Standby Skies and Shifting Ice

Verse 1 – Minneapolis
In the winter light of Minneapolis, a name is on the wind,
Renee Good, a young mother, and a city pulled thin.
A second shot rang later, a Venezuelan man fell,
Soldiers wait in Alaska boots, listening for the bell.
The Guard stands ready, but the streets are not yet lined,
A judge says peaceful voices won’t be gassed or confined.
There’s talk of old acts rising, threats from far above,
While a small flag-waving chorus got swallowed by the love
Of a crowd near City Hall that refused to be afraid—
And the Justice men are digging at the choices leaders made.

From frozen roads to distant waters,
Hear the people, make a way.
The ground may shake, the tides may turn,
But we’re more than sparks in the storm.
Hold the line, hold each other—
Let a kinder world be born.
Verse 2 – Greenland Tariffs
Across the cold Atlantic, a bargaining chip of ice,
Tariffs thrown like thunder over who can name the price.
Operation Arctic Endurance traced boots on snowy ground,
Europe answered in one voice: we won’t be pushed around.
Macron called it unacceptable, Starmer said it’s wrong,
Frederiksen vowed no ransom as the island sang its song.
Ambassadors met in Brussels, a council cry arose,
And Nuuk’s streets beat together like a drum that never slows.

Let a kinder world be born.
Verse 3 – Austrian Avalanches
On the high white shoulders of Austria’s silent crown,
Warning signs were shouting while the heavy snow came down.
Bad Hofgastein to Pusterwald, the mountain’s colder law,
Gastein Valley’s broken hush, a truth no one should saw.
Gerhard Kremser’s voice was steady: we told you, still it came—
A grim and painful lesson with a hard and ancient name.
Across the Alps in neighboring lands, the sorrow traveled far,
A choir of sirens rising underneath a dimming star.

Verse 4 – Gaza Ceasefire, Phase Two
They call it Phase Two in Gaza, a brittle thread of peace,
Technocrats with careful hands, a promise of release.
Ali Shaath to steer the wheel, a Board of Peace above,
Mladenov upon the ground, watching doves and gloves.
The ceasefire’s thin as paper; grief is still in air,
The last remains expected back, the crossings locked and bare.
Israel wants the weapons down, the rafters to be still,
And everyone is counting cost while builders wait to build.

Verse 5 – Seoul’s Verdict
In Seoul a gavel thundered where a president once stood,
A verdict on the power used for less than common good.
They said he blocked the lawful hand, bent cabinets and pens,
Abused a mighty influence to shutter rightful ends.
He’ll appeal and call it politics; the court says what it must,
Another case still looming with a harsher blade of trust.
Impeached after a midnight law, first in decades’ span,
A lesson carved in granite: no one stands above the plan.

From Salzburg snow to Gaza’s wire,
From Seoul’s stern bench, the world unspools—
And still we carry fire.
No one is an island,
Not even one of ice,
We are threads in the same vast cloth,
And mercy is the price.
Final Chorus
Hold the line, hold each other,
When the night leans hard on the day.
From frozen roads to distant waters,
Hear the people, make a way.
Let borders thaw, let mountains rest,
Let courts and crowds be sworn—
Hold the line, hold each other,
Till a kinder world is born.
Outro
Standby skies and shifting ice,
Avalanche and amber light—
Raise your hands, refuse the night,
Sing us home to something bright.
