While the World Keeps Breaking |
Lyrics"While the World Keeps Breaking"By Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A The rain came in through a crack in the roof The walls don't speak, but they carry the proof Of nights we whispered, too tired to cry With dreams stitched thin by the price of tryin' Verse 1B I never claimed to walk in grace But I keep love in this worn-down place No sacred robe, no holy hymn Just folded hands and calloused skin Pre-Chorus I don't seek a throne above I look for signs in the shape of love Chorus While the world keeps breaking, we still rise With empty pockets and open eyes No burning bush, no choir's song Just quiet strength to carry on It's not the name we kneel before-- It's the lives we heal, the hearts we restore If there's truth that's worth embracing-- Let it live here... while the world keeps breaking Verse 2A My neighbor's girl left school last fall Now works late shifts behind strip mall walls And still she smiles, though she's just a kid Trying to fix what no one did Verse 2B I pass her mom most mornings near That same brave face behind the fear No scripture calms what hunger takes But kindness does the job faith fakes Pre-Chorus And if there's a heaven we can find It might just bloom in how we're kind Chorus While the world keeps breaking, we hold tight Trading silence for what's right Not waiting on some thunder roll-- Just a gentle word, a lifted soul No temple tells us how to care It's how we show up, how we're there If there's grace worth recreating-- Let it start here... while the world keeps breaking Bridge Maybe faith's not etched in stone But in the ways we stand alone For those with no one left to lean That's the closest I've felt to peace Final Chorus While the world keeps breaking, we still choose To build from love, not just from rules No book or bell can guide our hands Like reaching out to help who stands And if salvation ever comes It won't ride clouds -- it starts with one So let our hands do the remaking-- Of what matters... while the world keeps breaking |
