Lyrics
Mm-dum...
They say silence is empty.
But if you listen closely...
Even in the darkest room...
You can hear it.
Mm-dum...
That’s not just a heartbeat.
That’s the sound of you... still fighting.
This one’s for you.
Pull the blanket tight, I know the night feels long
There’s a heavy weight, but you don’t have to be strong
I can’t erase the pain or turn back the tide
But I’m sitting right here, right by your side
Close your eyes, don't listen to the noise
Just listen to this sound
It’s our shared voice
Can you feel the beat
It’s the rhythm of the brave
Every single Mm-dum is a life they couldn't take
We are the melody
Rising from the gray
Let the music heal you
Let it light the way
You are loved
You are whole
Can you feel the beat
A broken bottle top, a dream that washed ashore
We'll gather up the pieces, we'll find something more
It’s not about the money, or the fight to win
It’s about the spark that’s still burning within
Mm-dum...
Mm-dum...
This is the sound of hope.
This is the sound of you.
Don't you ever think it's over
As long as this is beating
You're still in the game
Can you feel the beat
It’s the rhythm of the brave
Every single Mm-dum is a life they couldn't take
We are the melody
Rising from the gray
Let it light the way
You are loved
You are whole
Can you feel the beat
Yeah...
Just keep breathing
Keep beating
For Songs of Love
Mm-dum...
Mm-dum...
