Intro:
(Instrumental)
Verse 1:
Yo, standing on the edge, where the towers once stood,
Concrete jungle crumbled, from the hijackers' hood.
Innocence lost, a nation in disarray,
But what about the lives in the Holy Land's fray?
A flicker of hatred, fueled by fear and despair,
Two worlds colliding, it's a nightmare we share.
Caught in a whirlwind, like a storm on the rise,
Many innocent eyes watch as hate multiplies.
Hook:
Ground Zero, under fire, where do we place the blame?
Two sides to the story, but we’re all feelin’ the pain.
In the depths of this chaos, got to find the light,
Unity in shadows, gotta come together and fight.
Verse 2:
Echoes of sirens, the world’s in a mess,
From the streets to the skies, man I’m feeling the stress.
Winds of change blowing, they ain't treating us fair,
But through the grit and the grime, real love’s in the air.
Israel’s got scars, we ain’t talking about pride,
Suffering's a currency, through the tears we divide.
But in the midst of the madness, gotta see what’s real,
Human connection’s the only way we truly heal.
Hook:
Ground Zero, under fire, where do we place the blame?
Two sides to the story, but we’re all feelin’ the pain.
In the depths of this chaos, got to find the light,
Unity in shadows, gotta come together and fight.
Verse 3:
So let’s break the silence, let’s spark the debate,
It’s bigger than colors, more than just fate.
Resilient in spirit, the struggle ain’t done,
One love to the people, we all bleed as one.
Reachin’ out across borders, let’s defy the design,
Common threads, we human, lost in the grind.
So lift up your voice, let the chorus unfold,
Together we’re stronger, let the story be told.
Hook:
Ground Zero, under fire, where do we place the blame?
Two sides to the story, but we’re all feelin’ the pain.
In the depths of this chaos, got to find the light,
Unity in shadows, gotta come together and fight.
Outro:
(Instrumental fades out)
We’re building bridges, while the world’s torn apart,
Let love be the answer, it starts with the heart.
