What Now?

What Now? What now, when the voices clash,

When half the world seems split in half?

When understanding feels so far,

And unity’s a hidden star?

We keep showing up, one by one,

A thread of light when day is done;

We keep loving, deep and wide,

With open arms, with hearts untied.

We keep living, step by step,

Through every joy, through every test.

We spread kindness like seeds in spring,

Knowing one day, they’ll rise and sing.

For one day, the walls will fall,

And freedom will reach us all.

One day, we’ll live like we belong—

A million voices, one shared song.

We’ll join hands across the land,

A single heartbeat, human, grand.

Until that day, we love, we live—

Together, with all we have to give.
