awerysopelea - every Name is a World

Lyrics

[Intro] Schreib mir, wenn du da bist Avísame cuando llegues Écris-moi quand tu arrives Just tell me you are home [Verse 1] At thirty-two, you're still “mein Kind” when your mother hears the rain She knows the scar beneath your chin and how you joke when you're afraid Across the night, “mi vida, ven” another father checks the door Two different tongues, the same small fear: let me hear your key once more [Pre-Chorus] A screen can turn a life to twelve a headline makes the distance clean But numbers never learned the names that someone whispers in their sleep [Chorus] Different names, same prayer: come home, come home Every name is a whole world someone's reason to hold on The news said twelve Twelve mothers said their names Different words, same heartbeat: come home, come home [Post-Chorus] Komm nach Hause Vuelve a casa Reviens chez nous ننتظرك في البيت Come home [Verse 2] You watch a hallway on the news a coat still hanging by the door The same blue stars across a ceiling your child begged you for at four You call it somewhere far away until the camera finds a frame And in the dust beneath the glass a child who shares your daughter's name [Pre-Chorus] By the time they call it war the first small hates are years old They enter softly, dressed as truth and teach warm hands to turn cold [Chorus] Different names, same prayer: come home, come home Every name is a whole world someone's reason to hold on The news said twelve Twelve mothers said their names Different words, same heartbeat: come home, come home [Post-Chorus] Komm nach Hause Vuelve a casa Reviens chez nous ننتظرك في البيت Come home [Bridge] You cannot shelter every child or answer every midnight call But one door opened in the dark is not a little thing at all One voice may never stop a war but silence never stopped one Say one name, refuse the lie and one whole world carries on [Final Chorus] Different names, same prayer: come home, come home Every name is a whole world someone's reason to hold on The news said twelve We say every single name Different words, one heartbeat: come home, come home [Final Post-Chorus] Komm nach Hause Vuelve a casa Reviens chez nous ننتظرك في البيت Come home [Outro] One open door won't save the world It saves a world It saves a world Tell me you are home
