Intro
Y cuando dormíamos...
(And while we were sleeping...)
Verse 1
While we were scrolling through our feeds
A mother held her child in rubble
While we debated trending needs
A father dug through concrete double
Chorus
When we were sleeping, cities fell
Stories that the news won’t tell
Children counting stars through holes
In ceilings that were once their homes
Verse 2
While we were choosing what to wear
A classroom turned to dust and prayers
While we complained about the heat
They walked for miles on burning feet
Chorus
When we were sleeping, cities fell
Stories that the news won’t tell
Children counting stars through holes
In ceilings that were once their homes
Bridge
(Spoken word over gentle acoustic)
The distance between us and them
Is measured not in miles
But in the seconds it takes
To scroll past their faces
Final Verse
Now I’m awake and I can’t unsee
The world that was hidden from me
Every headline is someone’s scream
Every statistic, a shattered dream
Outro
While we were sleeping...
Y cuando dormíamos...
(The world kept turning)
(But some worlds stopped)
