In this world of freedom, I searched but found no sound,
No song of true compassion, no gentle hearts around.
I spoke of all my sorrows, I whispered through the night,
Yet no one stood beside me, no hand appeared in sight.

The streets were filled with laughter, the skies were painted bright,
But hidden underneath it all were shadows without light.
A thousand silent stories were written in each face,
Yet loneliness kept walking through every crowded place.

I called upon the kindness that lives within the soul,
But found forgotten promises and hearts no longer whole.
The echoes of my questions were lost among the crowd,
For truth was often whispered, while silence spoke aloud.

I saw the dreams of many fade slowly into grey,
I watched the hopes of broken hearts disappear away.
The world was full of voices, yet few could truly hear,
The language of the wounded, the poetry of fear.

But still, beyond the darkness, a little flame remains,
A light that keeps on shining through endless nights of pain.
For even after winter, the spring will find its way,
And flowers will awaken beneath the morning ray.

Perhaps one day this freedom will carry love and grace,
And every lost and lonely heart will find a warmer place.
Until that dawn arrives, we’ll keep our dreams alive,
For those who hold on to hope are those who truly survive.
