Description

Quiet Word, Loud World

[Verse 1]

You say “word”

Just one

On a napkin in the corner of a café

Blue ink

Shaky in the sunlight

You say “peace”

Soft breath

Like it might crack if you push it too hard

You laugh

Say “guess that’s all I want”

[Chorus]

Word peace

Just say it till it sticks

On tongues and teeth and headlines

Word peace

Let it pass from lip to lip

Till every little echo

Starts to mean it

[Verse 2]

You write “peace”

On your hand

Smudge it while you wash a stack of dishes

Still

The outline hangs around

You text “peace”

To your dad

He types back “sure

Call me when you can”

Old wounds wobbling on the screen

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Maybe it’s tiny

Just letters in a line

But every time we say it

It rewires something in our minds

So speak it in the kitchen

Mutter it on trains

Peace in every sentence

Till it grows beyond the page

[Chorus]
